South Dakota mule deer

Anybody ever hunt southwest South Dakota for mule deer? Drew what i thought was a good unit for mule deer but afraid I might have made a mistake.

I drew a South Dakota tag for the first time this year and scored in the first hour of the opener

In that first hour this morning I saw 3 different 4 points cruising for does. Spent the afternoon window shopping since my hunt ended so quickly. Lots of deer in the unit I have which is SW

You should have been here in the 2002-2010 years. population was at a minimum 50%-75% of what it is now with better quality. Triple tags handed out like candy for every one. Then in one bad winter it went down hill and still not recovered. I would say after hunting for 5 years in Idaho it probably feels like there is alot of deer compared to what i saw out there even with our horrible population numbers right now.

Ended up getting a nice 4pt after 3 days scouting and 2 days hunting. Saw a pile.of does, spikes and forks with a couple 3 pts. Only saw 2 4pts one of which I shot. Super fun and exciting hunt that morning
