Hello everyone,
This is my first time on this forum. I am in the process of planning a spot and stalk mule deer hunt in NW SD. I am looking at some areas around Bowman and Buffalo that look pretty decent. I noticed looking at google maps that there is alot of roads in the area, can anyone give me an idea of where to begin my search for areas that I can get a few miles away from the roads? Anywhere in the western part of the state is fine. Also, I have heard that I may be wise to get an antelope tag when I do my hunt as well, is this true? I am primarily looking for a decent mule deer buck, but if I have upon a wall hanger whitetail I would not hesitate to shoot it. What time of year is the best to go out there? Any other tips that would be helpful from people who have does these is welcome.
Thanks in advance!
