    South Dakota tundra swan?

    bump I have a couple tags for South Dakota this year, and don't know much about hunting them. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I live about four hours south, so I'll be hoping to make a day trip for pass shooting or pond swatting them. Thanks!

    SD Archery Changes

    Looks like a lot of minor stuff. I wish they'd make a move to open archery deer season on September 1. Right now it doesn't open until the last weekend until September, which is about the time everything else gets busy. At the beginning of October you have antelope, in the middle of October you...

    SD deer tags way down this year

    South Dakota has actually been really proactive on the situation. Southeastern South Dakota was hit particularly hard with EHD in 2012 and tags were immediately cut for many areas. It's been comforting to know they are on top of the situation, even though the average hunter doesn't really...

    SD deer tags way down this year

    I was thinking the same thing. Maybe they are looking into just changing the system. Something like having preference points for the whole state rather than east and west river separate. Or maybe they are looking at doing away with the unlimited archery tags? That is an issue that will need to...

    Awesome find! Things are just getting going in South Dakota. This rain/heat forecast should help.

    SD Turkey Hunt (Pic Heavy)

    Excellent pictures! What was the hunting pressure like? Were you fighting crowds? I just got into the turkey hunting game this year and would like to make a trip out there next year.

    How close is too close...

    Wow. It seems like I run into more idiots/jackasses below the dam at Yankton than I do anywhere else.
