South Dakota mule deer

[spur60]

It's all about perception. Non resident archery license sales have doubled since 2014, and perhaps by coincidence, both mule deer buck and doe archery harvests have doubled since 2014; even though mule deer numbers have declined. So, for many, the scapegoat is NR archery hunters, easiest to blame, easiest to push reg changes against. But anybody who understands SD's season structures, current deer numbers, etc. understands that NR pressure is just a symptom of a larger more complex issue. One thing I will say is that I honestly believe that many in the GFP had no clue how many deer fell to winterkill in 22.

Most public areas in the central and eastern part of the states have food plots. Not walk in areas. Seems the food plots stop at the range of pheasants.
