Testimonials at Antler Ridge Lodge
Deer Hunting Testimonial & Reference
Hunting early season mule deer at Antler Ridge Lodge with Steve and Donna Kubik was an outstanding experience. This was the first time I have ever pursued mule deer and I had the opportunity to try all means of hunting them from spot and stalk, to stand hunting and blind hunting as well. I cant say enough good things about Steve and Donna, plus their boys Trent and Ty, and the hospitality they provide.
The newly completed, spacious lodge and the meals Donna prepared were beyond expectation. It was a good thing I did a lot of walking to burn off all the calories I was taking in!
The guides, Jack and Al, were very knowledgeable about mule deer and where we could find them and what we needed to do to get into range. I saw upwards of 50 deer a day including bucks that ranged from 140 to 170, plus a good crop of promising younger bucks. I was into mature bucks every day of the 3 days I hunted, having closed to within bow range on three occasions, but the shot just didnt materialize like I would have liked. I didnt spend time in their whitetail areas, but did see a 130 whitetail while driving to a hunting location, they do have some good whitetails too.
I went home without a deer, but that did not skew my opinion of Antler Ridge Lodge. I will definitely return. Opportunity on great animals, with great people, great food, and great lodging, what more could a bowhunter ask for? I have hunted in many places and stayed in many lodges and this is a first class operation. As a discriminating bowhunter, the Kubiks more than met my needs.

| Pheasant hunting at Antler Ridge Lodge provided a memorable experience. Every field was easy to walk and there was a wealth of birds. I have never seen so many birds in one sorghum field strip in my life. It was truly an adrenaline rush!
After our hunt, the Kubik's sincerely treated us as if we were family by presenting us with a generous meal at their well-designed, new lodge. They genuinely went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

"The Minnesota Boys" hunt: Courtney Burke, Ryan Trask, Joe Kratzke and Tyler Kubik (Our Guide) on a pheasant hunt/prairie dog hunt in late December.
| The moment we drove into the first sorghum field, the roosters started flying and scurrying around immediately. The roosters were unbelievably wild!
I have been out to Antler Ridge two times now and the pheasant hunting has been excellent both times. November with no snow was a fun time and the last week in December with snow on the ground was just as fun even with the cold temps. Both visits we have got our limit and the shots at the birds have been tough, just like I want them.
The new lodge is impressive and very comfortable. I am thoroughly impressed with Donna's cooking. Her cheeseburger soup is killer and she makes sure you leave the table with a full stomach.
I have hunted with over a dozen pheasant hunting outfitters in the state of South Dakota. For a pheasant hunting outfitter, corporate trip, group event, or a few buddies hunting together, I would recommend Antler Ridge Lodge without reservation. The new lodge and the pheasant hunting is one of the absolute best for the price hands down and it's only a matter of time before others start to realize this. Give me a call... I'd be happy to tell you about my experience at Antler Ridge Lodge.
