SD Whitetail?

[hunterjmj]

Was recently through SD and got to thinking it might be fun to hunt whitetails on the east side. Reading the regs it looks like NR can buy a license after all the residents draw. I couldn't find any info on odds of being able to pick up an east river buck tag. Is it a total crap shoot or is it a good chance?

I don’t think NR’s have any chance drawing a halfway decent tag ERD unless maybe you have some private land access and find a county with leftovers.

That's what it looks like. I looked up draw results but hard to see if leftover tags are available
