Our Habitat

Thousands of acres of prime, managed pheasant habitat in southwestern North Dakota.

Where the Birds Are

Step into the field at Kelly's Limit and experience what happens when hundreds of birds take flight at once — a sound like a helicopter lifting off from the grasslands. This is what proper habitat management produces.

Our hunting grounds span thousands of acres across Hettinger County, featuring a diverse mix of terrain that pheasants thrive in:

  • 🌿
    CRP Grasslands: Thick native grasses that provide ideal nesting and escape cover for pheasants throughout the season.
  • 🌽
    Cropland & Food Plots: Strategically planted food sources that keep birds close and well-fed.
  • 🌊
    Creek Bottoms & Draws: Natural corridors with dense cover where pheasants congregate, especially in colder weather.
  • Rolling Hills: The terrain varies from flat prairie to rolling hills, creating natural funnels and holding spots for birds.
  • 🌲
    Shelterbelts & Tree Rows: Planted trees and dams for water that provide year-round roosting and winter cover.
