Missouri Valley Guide Service was founded in 1999 by Joel Vasek, whose passion for fishing and hunting began at an early age. Over the years, Joel built a strong reputation nationwide, speaking at seminars and sport shows and sharing his expertise with outdoor enthusiasts.

In 2007, Joel established Missouri River Lodge, LLC, responding to growing demand for high-quality hunting and fishing vacations. By acquiring additional land and focusing on conservation and land management, the lodge provided guests with premium outdoor experiences, blending expert guidance with well-maintained habitats for game and fish. Joel’s wife, Amanda, joined the team in 2018, enhancing the family-run approach and ensuring each trip offers personalized service.

Recognizing South Dakota’s world-renowned pheasant populations and abundant fishing opportunities, the team launched South Dakota Outfitters Unlimited in 2019. This umbrella brand now includes Missouri Valley Guide Service and Missouri River Lodge, reflecting a comprehensive offering of guided hunting and fishing adventures across the state.

South Dakota Outfitters Unlimited provides guided pheasant hunting, upland bird hunting, waterfowl hunting, and world-class fishing on the Missouri River and surrounding waters. Guests of all experience levels benefit from knowledgeable guides, top-quality equipment, and well-managed land. Sustainable hunting and fishing practices, conservation efforts, and habitat management are central to every trip, ensuring both rewarding experiences and environmental stewardship.

Joel and Amanda Vasek lead a team dedicated to safe, successful, and memorable outdoor adventures.
