Just from looking at the maps SDGFP has it’s seems I should look at the 15’s, 53, 35’s, or 27. Seems like decent public access but a lot of hunters in those areas.
I spent a week south of Wall on vacation camping. Glassed every night and saw quite a few in that area south of 90. But that’s...
I just drew a South Dakota Non Resident Archery Antelope Tag. Im mostly a whitetail hunter but have roughed it chasing elk and bear east of the Mississippi. Looking for tips, tricks, pointers ect. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I really thought I updated this thread. We put a camera out in a place I thought would be good. The very next day I had a bear in camera. I received occasional pics over the next month or so until the season started. About 5 days prior to the season the pics stopped.

We scouted and hunted...

I have a Badlands Superday pack and am very happy with it. Most my hunting is accessible with a quad So I dont have the need to pack out deer.
That may be changing soon and I’m looking into the K3 1800 of SG Avail they would probably do what I needed in a saddle hunting pack. I also one stick...
Haven’t started applying out west yet. This will be my first year. Got drawn for Week 1 Cow in Kentucky. Now just trying to locate areas and intel. This is my first out of state hunt other than a Hawaiian Goat hunt this year While visiting my brother.
