Tons of deer!!
The bobcats and mountain lions are starting to make a comeback in the area as well. Used to have bear as late as the 50's (old den is about 500 feet from my hunting cabin), but they were hunted off. The missouri/niobrara rivers intersect and form a lot of marshy areas and it is a duck/goose hunters paradise. I have to shoo the turkeys off my porch and they even chased my 2 labs when they were pups so now the dogs are scared of them. I bag a turkey every year in my back yard when I am home. Fishing is excellent (bass, paddle fish, catfishing, etc...) So many squirrels, rabbits, yotes that you wouldn't believe. Pheasants are everywhere. The only thing that is missing is prairie dogs, but you can drive towards Pierre for them.
