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

I just bought points for my kid and I for the next year or two. Seems you need about two points to draw. Hunting in Montana has gone to so I'm wanting to hunt with my buddy in sodak. Be way better than elk hunting here!

I'd just like to hunt for another whitetail buck beyond what I can hunt here in Montana.
Hunted a place in Nebraska back in 07 which was just a trespass fee. I can't seem to find any info on that place anymore.
