Willow Creek Wildlife — 

Where Heritage Meets the Hunt

​​

  At Willow Creek Wildlife, our mission is to provide hunters with exceptional opportunities while preserving the land, wildlife, and natural resources that make it all possible.

  We manage over 13,000 acres of diverse habitat in Central South Dakota, including crop fields of sorghum, corn, millet, and wheat, along with native prairie grasses and CRP. Every acre is thoughtfully farmed with wildlife in mind—offering food, shelter, and nesting grounds that sustain strong populations year after year.

  Our roots run deep in Stanley County, where our family has been farming and ranching since 1912. For generations, we’ve admired the wildlife that call this land home. But like many families, we couldn’t afford to leave ground idle just for habitat.  In 1983, we founded Willow Creek Wildlife.

  Since then, hunters like you have helped us offset the costs of habitat conservation, making it possible to protect the land we love while sharing unforgettable hunting experiences.

  We’re a family-owned and operated lodge, and we take pride in creating an affordable, welcoming experience for hunters of all backgrounds. Whether it’s your first time in the field or your fiftieth season, we’re here to help make this your most memorable hunt yet.

  From pheasant and deer hunting to goose pass shooting, field hunting for grouse or prairie chickens, or warming up on our sporting clay course—we offer something for every level of hunter and every kind of day in the field.

  At Willow Creek, you're not just a guest — you're part of the legacy.
