A little dog pic drop from WCL—the crew that earns every nap. 🐾

Rooster chasers, lodge loungers, and firm believers that a stuffed bird still counts as a retrieve. 😂

From working the fields to hanging out with our guests, these dogs are a huge part of what makes Wiley C**k Lodge special. We’re lucky to spend our days with them.

Apparently, we weren’t the only ones hunting this tree strip. 👀

The dogs had a close encounter with a coyote while we were working the cover at WCL. A few seconds of unexpected company and a reminder that you never know what the next walk will bring.

For the record, we’re Wiley C**k Lodge. Different Wiley. 😂

To this crew—thank you for making Wiley C**k Lodge part of your tradition year after year.

We know the time and planning it takes to get everyone together, and we don’t take it for granted that you choose to spend that time with us. Having you back is something our whole crew looks forward to.

We’re grateful for the friendships, the laughs, and the days we get to share in the field. You’re a big part of what makes WCL such a special place.

From all of us at the lodge, thank you for your continued support. It’s a privilege to be part of your hunting memories, and we look forward to making more together.

Luna apparently heard her last rabbit video was popular and decided to film a sequel. 😂🐇

We’re out chasing South Dakota roosters, but she’s picked up another side assignment. Another rabbit delivered, another reminder that we need to review the job description.

For everyone who met Luna through her last video—welcome back to Wiley C**k Lodge. For the newcomers, this is Luna. She’s supposed to be a pheasant dog. 🐾

🐓 GUIDES CALL FRIDAY @ WCL! 🌾❄️

Ever wonder why those roosters disappear into the nastiest cattail sloughs when winter hits?

Turns out, they might know something we don't!

South Dakota researchers found that pheasant hens using emergent wetlands had a 58% lower risk of weather-related mortality. That's a pretty impressive survival advantage when Mother Nature decides to get nasty!

So the next time you're knee-deep in snow, busting through frozen cattails, and questioning your life choices, just remember — those birds aren't hiding in there for nothing! 😂

And as Rooster Cogburn likes to say:

🚬 "You call it a swamp. I call it life insurance."

Real science. Questionable messenger.

A walk along the milo, a South Dakota sky, and dogs that live for this. 🐾🐓

A little field action from WCL, with the dogs putting in the work right down to the delivery. Watching them hunt never gets old—and they’re always ready for the next walk before we are. 😂

Good dogs and days like these. That’s why we look forward to hunting season.

🐾 Meet the Dogs Monday @ WCL

Meet Belle—earning her keep in the field and claiming her spot on your lap afterward. 😂

This chocolate girl has been doing great, putting her energy and eagerness to please to work chasing South Dakota roosters. Watching her come into her own has been one of the real joys of this season.

Off duty, she’s happy carrying a stuffed toy or making herself comfortable with the crew. Personal space apparently wasn’t part of her training.

Hardworking bird dog. Oversized lap dog. We’re pretty lucky to have both in Belle.

Your next hunting trip deserves a lodge you look forward to coming back to. 🐓

At Wiley C**k Lodge, the day carries on long after the last walk. Trade your boots for a comfortable seat, settle in for a good meal, and enjoy the stories that come from a day chasing South Dakota roosters with great dogs and good company.

The good shots get their credit. The misses usually get a much longer discussion. 😂

Bring your friends, family, or clients and make some memories with us in Winner, South Dakota.

Luna, we said roosters. That one has ears. 😂🐇

An unexpected retrieve at WCL gave us a look at Luna’s gentle carry. She brought in this cottontail, and we released it to hop away with no visible injuries.

Plenty of drive in the field and a soft touch on the delivery. Good girl, Luna. Now back to the feathered ones. 🐾
