Nonresident hunters are still eligible for eight percent of the allocation for West River, Black Hills and Refuge hunting seasons during the first drawing. Special Buck license holders are limited to one additional application in the first draw as long as that application was not valid for the same season as their Special Buck license. These seasons include: East River/Special Buck, West River/Special Buck, Black Hills, Muzzleloader, Refuge and Custer State Park.

Those access permits would be distributed as follows: 500 resident access permits and 125 nonresident access permits. A nonresident hunter checked hunting on public land with this license could be cited for a violation.Ĭhange #3: Access permits on Unit 35L will be limited to a total of 625 access permits. This deadline does not preclude a nonresident from obtaining a license, but the license would only be valid for private land. The 2019 deadline was August 1, which only applied for the 2019 deer hunting season beginning in 2020 and beyond the deadline will be April 1. Nonresident archery hunters will still be able to hunt on private lands starting September 1.Ĭhange #2: An application deadline of April 1, was established for nonresident hunters, where any application received after that date the license will only be valid on private land, not including land leased by the department for hunting such as WIA, CREP and CHAP areas. These private lands include Walk-In Area (WIA), Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), Controlled Hunting Access Program (CHAP) and Cooperative Hunting Access Areas.
This proposal included three major changes to the nonresident archery season and Unit 35L.Ĭhange #1: Archery hunting for nonresident hunters will begin on October 1 for public lands and private land leased by the department. At their June 2019 meeting in Pierre, the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) Commission approved 7-1 an amended proposal regarding nonresident archery hunting and access permits.
