Campbell County Canyons

Whitetails • Mule Deer

This 1,700-acre property in Campbell County, South Dakota, sits in the heart of the River East Zone, one of the premier regions in the state for trophy whitetail and mule deer hunting. Known for its fertile river bottoms, shelterbelts, and mixed ag/grassland habitat, this zone consistently produces mature bucks and offers hunters the chance to pursue deer in a variety of settings—from creek bottoms and timbered draws to open cropland edges where deer feed heavily in late season.

Whether you’re chasing early-season archery opportunities when bucks are still in summer patterns, or glassing for rutting giants during the November rifle season, this property provides high-quality spot and stalk locations and natural funnels that keep deer moving through all fall. The combination of food, water, and cover ensures a reliable herd presence and strong hunting potential year after year.

This property boasts a proven history of strong whitetail and mule deer populations alongside consistently high pheasant numbers, making it a complete hunting package. The landscape features a blend of rolling prairie, shelterbelts, and timbered draws, all tied together with row crops and natural water sources.

Deer heavily utilize the ag fields for feeding, while the tree-lined draws and thick native grasslands provide secure bedding areas and natural travel corridors throughout the season. For upland hunters, the tall grasses and edge habitat offer excellent nesting and roosting cover that supports reliable bird numbers year after year.

This diverse habitat mix ensures that whether you’re targeting a mature buck or working dogs on late-season roosters, the property delivers consistent opportunities across species and throughout the fall.
