South Dakota pheasant and buffalo hunting are just two of Jim River Guide Service's specialties. We also offer predator/coyote hunting, prairie dog hunting, archery whitetail deer hunting, and fishing.
Jim River Guide Service is located in the game rich area of South Dakota known as the James River Valley. We are located within a one hour drive of the Aberdeen Regional Airport and the Huron Regional Airport. These airports can accommodate all of your luggage, including ice chests, dogs, weapons, etc. My home headquarters are located in Mellette, South Dakota.
Along with guiding hunts in South Dakota, I personally guide hunting trips in Texas for wild boar, coyote, and bobcats (www.huntingtexashogs.com), as well as personally guiding hunting trips in Alaska for grizzly/brown bear, moose, Dall sheep, caribou, black bear, wolf, and wolverine (www.guidedalaskahunting.com). Check out these websites to learn more about the hunts. I have had many clients start their relationship with me by hunting for one species in one state and then finding themselves booking hunts with me year after year in one of the other states. Return clients are very important to me.
Accommodations and Services
We've moved into new headquarters! The facility features 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 2 kitchens, for over 5,100 square feet to accommodate our hunters and ourselves much better. We offer first rate accommodations. We still focus on small groups that want excellent personal service.Jim River Guide Service operates on thousands of acres of private ground in Spink and Clark Counties of South Dakota. We have been hunting this area for over 20 years and know how to put game in your sights. We do this with your safety and enjoyment as top priorities. Contact us today at 605-887-3561.
Jim River Guide Service provides you with an excellent hunting experience. Housing, excellent vehicles and equipment, and first class meals featuring wild game from South Dakota, buffalo, excellent home raised beef, and pork with all the extras are provided with unmatched hospitality. The guides give 100% all of the time, good weather and bad. Not only does he guide in South Dakota, but Willie Dvorak, owner of Jim River Guide Service, is an experienced guide for moose, caribou and bear in Alaska. We also can arrange butchering services, taxidermy, air travel, and shipment of trophies/meat at no charge.
Hunting Season Information
Archery deer season runs from late September through late December. Pheasant season starts the third weekend of October and runs through late December. Early hunting is excellent, however, late season hunting can occasionally be even better due to the grain harvesting that generally starts in mid-October and can run well into November. Prairie dog shooting takes place from April through October. The best time for buffalo shooting is December and January. I can call predators all year long. We'll do our best to accommodate you when your calendar allows you to hunt. You can also check our links for exact fees and dates on specific species.Video Now Available

My Trophy Room
Traditional Wood Burning Sauna
When researching a hunt, you should ask to speak with ALL of the clients who hunted the same time you are considering hunting the previous year. It is foolish to consider booking a hunt with an outfitter before you speak with hunters who have hunted the same time and place during the previous season. It is important to know ahead of time what you are getting for your money. About 30% of my current business is repeat business and each year repeat business grows. This is because I show my clients a great time. I am proud of the attention I give each client before, during, and after the hunt. Most importantly, DON'T CONSIDER BOOKING A HUNT WITH ANYONE THAT IS NOT WILLING TO GIVE YOU PHONE NUMBERS AND/OR EMAIL ADDRESSES OF ALL OF THEIR CLIENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
A 50% non-refundable deposit will reserve your hunt.
