Silver Creek Sanctuary

Land Description

Located just 5 miles south of Wessington, SD, the Silver Creek Sanctuary offers a unique opportunity for avid hunters seeking the perfect farm to pursue trophy whitetail deer, upland birds, and seasonal waterfowl. The Silver Creek Sanctuary is renowned for producing trophy caliber whitetail deer, with every detail of the farm designed to support and grow trophy animals.

Land

The property boasts over 30 acres of strategically placed food plots,

designed to attract and hold mature whitetail bucks throughout the

season. A -mile stretch of Silver Creek meanders through the

property, providing natural water, a travel corridor, and year-round

attraction for deer and other wildlife.

One of the standout features of Silver Creek Sanctuary is the large

block of mature hardwoods, a rare find in central South Dakota. These

towering elms and cottonwoods, interspersed with cedar thickets, offer

ideal sanctuary cover and are a critical factor in consistently

holding and producing trophy-caliber whitetail deer. Combined with the planted switchgrass for bedding and the surrounding high-protein food plots, the property becomes an irresistible magnet for prairie bucks seeking year-round security, nutrition, and thermal cover. In short, they have no reason to leave.

An established internal trail system provides discreet access to stand

locations and seamless navigation across the landscape, ensuring

low-impact hunting and property management.

Beyond its big game appeal, the farm sits squarely in prime pheasant

country. Expansive warm-season grasses provide essential winter cover, while quality nesting habitat supports strong spring reproduction. A long cattail bottom anchors the upland bird habitat, offering secure late-season refuge even during the harshest South Dakota winters.
