Bill Miller - Executive Director - North American Hunting Club
-Host - "North American Hunter" and "Tales of the Hunt" Television
“I’ve been lucky enough to hunt pheasants all over the Midwest for more than 35 years now, but I’ve never seen WILD BIRD hunting as good as it is at Halverson Hunts,LLC. You can count on seeing hundreds, if not thousands, of birds on any given day of the season. The big, WILD roosters are so numerous you can make a trophy hunt out if it if you want to!"

“More than anything else, it’s a pleasure to hunt with Halverson’s. The owner, guides and help are all extremely friendly and knowledgeable hunters. It’s great to feel a part of the terrific conservation success story that Halverson's have built over the years. You’ll see the results the second you set foot in the field."

Gordy Krahn - Host of ESPN Outdoors, Managing Editor of North American Hunter Magazine.
"I can honestly say I've never seen so many birds in the air at one time. I can't image it was any better during the soil bank days. I hunted the South Dakota opener at Halverson's and then again the final weekend of the season in December. I swear I saw just as many birds in December. That should bode well for next season."

Tony Dean - Host TONY DEAN OUTDOORS television program
"The Halverson farm takes you back to what pheasant hunting in South Dakota was like in the 1940's. The cover is great and you can hunt for days without hunting the same cover twice. Everything from all grass to cattail marshes to food plots and sometimes you'll see waves of birds flushing in front of you. And, they're all wild birds."

Tom Roster-Shotshell Ballistics Expert, Oregon
...Needless to say, I was astounded by the number of wild pheasants on your lands. You've got to be doing many things right-there is some formula you have found by trial and error which works like gangbusters for natural pheasant production. Just as Tony Dean promised me, "This will be the most pheasants you have ever seen!"

Jim Range - Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership, Washington DC
I have hunted pheasants all over the world and I have never seen pheasant numbers anywhere like what we witnessed today. This was incredible!

Jerry Seaberg - Minnesota
Just wanted to drop you a note and say thanks for everything last weekend. We had an outstanding time that far surpasses all of our expectations. Your spread is superior to any I ever hunted and produced more opportunities than I have ever experienced. I especially appreciated how professional and focused you, Big Joe and your dad are in making sure your guests have a fun and safe hunt. You are at the top of my "highly recommended" list. Thanks for creating some great memories of South Dakota!

"If you want to experience a true wild bird hunt, with the natural beauty of South Dakota's prairies and 30 years of hunting experience, join the Halversons for a hunt of a lifetime. Or you can keep shooting those tame birds at a game farm."

Bill Grady-Fenton, Mi.
"Just wanted to tell you that Bill and I had a great time, best pheasant hunt ever! You and your dad made us feel like we had known you for years. Also, your promise of seeing several hundred birds daily may have been the understatement of the year. For the 5 days we hunted, we estimated we saw over 2000 pheasants. Obviously we would like to return next year!"

Norm Cram-Chicago, Ill
"Growing up in the Midwest, I have been exposed to some of the finest hunting in the country. In all my 46 years of bird hunting, I have never experienced hunting like that provided by the Halversons. Each year, my brother, some friends and I have the distinct privilege of hunting on the Halversons' property.Because of their field preparation, organization and focus on safety, we experience pheasant hunting like you have read about only in days gone by.We hunt only wild birds, by the hundreds, in fields which have been harvested for easy walking and hunting. The variety of areas on the Halversons' property guarantees you a successful hunt.Finally, after several days of outstanding hunting, the Halversons' hospitality makes you feel like one of the family. Hats off guys, no one does it better."

I just want to take a moment to thank you for your hospitality in allowing us to hunt on your property. We had a wonderful time! My brother spoke highly of you and he was right on all counts. It's so refreshing to meet someone with your passion for the outdoors, wildlife management, and all hunting and shooting sports. Keep up the good work. You manage a first class operation.
