"You're in the middle of nowhere!"- we hear that a lot from folks who visit the ranch for the first time. It's true, we are located in a secluded corner of the prairie pothole region, where the waterfowl, upland bird and deer populations far exceed the number of people. Truth is, we kind of like it that way. Over the past few years most folks have come to appreciate the sound of wings overhead and the coyote chorus on the horizon at sundown each evening. This is hunting--pure, simple. The way you remember it.

Located in the famous prairie pothole region of central North Dakota, Prairie Smoke Ranch is a family-owned working ranch managed for waterfowl and upland game production. With nearly 500 acres of native prairie, cropland, wildlife food plots and scattered wetlands, Prairie Smoke Ranch attracts 15 species of ducks, snow and Canada geese, sandhill cranes, doves, ring-necked pheasants, sharptail grouse, Hungarian partridge, and white-tailed deer. Dozens of non-game species also call the ranch home.

Our hunting packages are simple and designed for a quality hunt and a quality experience at a very reasonable price. The rolling hills of the ranch offer waterfowl hunting over decoys, field spreads, jump shooting or pass shooting. Upland bird hunting is literally just minutes away out the back door of our spacious 4 bedroom homestead. Our guests enjoy the use of the ranch and its facilities; including house (with full kitchen, bathroom/shower and full laundry facilities) along with exclusive hunting access to the entire ranch acreage and all wetlands. Hunt from one of our permanent blinds or follow the birds and craft your own. Outdoor dog kennels, a game cleaning facility and game freezing are also provided as part of our lease package.
