Heroes of the Hunt

In South Dakota, hunting and fishing traditions run deep and are woven into the very fabric of the state's culture. Folks come from across the country to experience the pheasant-hunting capital of the world and to cast for walleye in the state's serene rivers and lakes.   Join us at Thunderstik Lodge, South Dakota's most luxurious pheasant-hunting retreat, for a hunt with veteran guides and some of the happiest labradors you'll ever meet. Then we hit the water, jigging for walleye and saugeye on the wide Missouri River and beneath the hydroelectric dam at Lake Francis Case. But it's not just about hunting and fishing — it's about sportsmanship, storytelling, respect for nature and sharing the day's abundance. - Brian Thacker, presenter Thank you to everyone who featured in this episode: -  Hunting guides Garrett, Jay and Gary -  Carey Story from Thunderstik Lodge -  Texan hunter Scott Senter -  Michael 'Buddy' London from Central Dakota Guide Service   Recorded on-location, this audio adventure is designed to do more than just let you hear what it's like to be there; it's designed to let you feel what it's like for real.   Find out more at www.travelsouthdakota.com where you'll find lots of inspiration, ideas and everything else you need to know to plan your great South Dakota adventure.   Produced by Armchair Productions, the audio experts for the travel industry www.armchair-productions.com
