Thanks everyone for the info. I drew and I had 4 points but it was the first year I actually put in to get the tag. Definitely use OnX a lot and locating water is always key that early. May turn into a spot and stalk event but those are tons of fun. Water and public can definitely get into a...

Unless there is a significant change with tag numbers and a great fawn crop it will still take SD a few more years before I'd recommend it to anyone. This is coming from a SD resident. I've gone on trespass fee bowhunts on leftover tags the past two years and there is no comparison. Even...
