Our People  

 Sandy Cedars Hunting Lodge was founded by the Puffer family. Our relatives moved to Beadle County in the late 19th century to farm, most were also hunters, so developing a hunting lodge was a natural event for Jim and Mike Puffer. They run a large diversified farming operation when not running the hunting lodge. They have farmed for a number years to not only produce corn, soybeans and beef, but have also developed nesting areas and great hunting habitat to provide you with unmatched hunting success.
 

Jim Puffer

retired from teaching and coaching and took over the operation of the family farm. Jim has years of hunting and guiding experience.

Mike Puffer

graduated from South Dakota State University and was an Arborist in Sioux Falls, SD before coming back to Hitchcock to join with his father in operating the farm. Mike is the chief guide.

Marlene Puffer

serves as "Chief Cook and Bottle Washer" for the lodge. She is a professional cook and hostess and operates her own business in Hitchcock. Whether it’s a meal or a snack, you will be pleased with the quality and quantity of the food and beverages.

Daughters Missy and Marcy have both moved on and started their families, but were a great help developing and planning Sandy Cedars Lodge.

Mike is shown here with Ric T-Baumgartner from Colorado (tractor salesman, web site developer (this one for example), occasional guide at Sandy Cedars and all around ner-do-well)
