Tumbleweed Lodge
For more than 25 years Tumbleweed Lodge has provided world class wingshooting experiences in central South Dakota on the Bollweg's farm. Whether you're targeting one species or "The Grand Slam of the Dakota's", autumn in the Northern Plains means one thing...South Dakota upland bird hunting at Tumbleweed Lodge. The Chinese ring-necked pheasant may be king, but the untamed prairies of South Dakota are also home to Hungarian partridge, Sharp-tail grouse, and the elusive Greater prairie chicken.
Complimenting The Grand Slam of the Dakota's is a wide array of waterfowl species that pass through the hunting grounds in December as they travel south through the Missouri river flyway. Your stay will only be heightened by first class lodging amenities in their 18,000 sq. ft. lodge which can accommodate up to 24 guests.
Orvis is pleased to offer our travel customers access to two valuable services: Global Rescue travel membership and IMG Signature Travel Insurance℠.
You will feel right at home in Tumbleweed Lodge's 18,000 sq. ft. lodge which includes 12 spacious bedrooms; each with two queen size beds, private bath and desk area. Common areas include a number of lounge areas with big screens to catch the game, poker room and cigar parlor, steam room and jacuzzi spa. You will immediately recognize why they were named one of the Top 10 Greatest Hunting Lodges in the World on the Outdoor Channels' "Outdoors" 10 Best.
Hunts begin the third weekend in September on more than 12,000 acres and continue through the first weekend in January with extended hunting through March on 3,000 acres. Wild, early-release, and preserve pheasant hunting, Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse and the greater prairie chicken are complimented by waterfowl hunting.

Located 30 miles east of the Missouri River near Harrold, SD (elevation 1785'), the upland habitat hunting at Tumbleweed Lodge consists of light rolling terrain including a perfect blend of corn, sorghum, maize, and sunflower, shelter belts, western wheat grass, witchgrass, and waterways. For the hunter aiming for the "Grand Slam of the Dakotas"; alfalfa fields, rolling draws flowing with native grass, plum and buckbrush thickets provide the ideal habitat to sustain an ample population of prairie chicken, sharp-tail grouse, and Hungarian partridge. Due to the native habitat blended with the right mix of food plots and moisture; South Dakota is by far the leader in harvesting the Chinese ring-necked pheasant.
Mid-September through Mid-October: High temperatures can range between the upper 50's and mid-80's. Overnight lows can range between lower 30's and upper 50's. The average first frost date is September 25th. Little to no snow is anticipated and rainfall is average.
Mid-October through Mid-November: High temperatures can range between the mid- 50's and upper-60's. Overnight lows can range between lower 20's and upper 40's. Snow is possible; however accumulating amounts are not likely.
Mid-November through December: High temperatures can range between the upper 40's and mid-60's. Overnight lows can range between lower teens and upper 30's. Snowfall is likely however accumulating amounts are limited based on soil temperatures. Late season upland bird hunting is a great experience and the weather only heightens the experience.

A National Certified Shooting Instructor and State Certified Shooting Instructors are available upon request. Dove hunting and fishing in a number of ponds on the property are offered based on availability. A poker room, cigar parlor, and steam room round off the amenities associated with evening activities

A. Gratuities are not expected but appreciated. It is common that guests leave a gratuity for the staff and many ask what is the amount of a normal gratuity. Gratuities range between 10 & 15% of the package price and may be paid upon settling up incidentals at the end of your stay. Typically 2/3 to 3/4 of the gratuity is then paid to the guides with the balance shared among the lodge staff. This has been a common practice and ensures that no staff member is inadvertently left out. Again, we strive to provide you the best service possible regardless of gratuity.
