Mule Deer
New member
I have a couple points in West River South Dakota.
Basically I am just wondering what your experiences are there, specifically for units 15 and 35?
I hunted unit 15 a year or so back, whitetail only and I was fairly impressed with the amount of public land and nice bucks on public land even after the bad winter. Although there weren't tons of hunters, the deer were very spooky though, and I came up empty handed.
I'm also wondering how long of a wait it may be for the any deer tag? Based on the amount of whitetails I saw compared to mule deer I'm not sure it's worth it. I did however start seeing more getting closer to Harding county, including a couple of big boys running together. So maybe someone with some experience up there can lend some info.
