1. Where do I find information on Public Hunting?

Hunting Areas
True, South Dakota does have over 5 million acres of hunting opportunity on public land and private land that has been leased for public hunting.

The fact remains that the vast majority of the state is land held in private ownership. Permission is required to hunt private land in South Dakota. Your ability to develop a connection with private landowners will enhance your hunting opportunities.

We encourage you to work as individuals and through your local sportsmen's clubs to create a personal and working relationship with private landowners. Respect their rights and their land. View Public Hunting Area Rules for more information.
