Before you hunt here

  • Regulations, seasons and licenses: check with South Dakota Game Fish and Parks. This site does not list regulations.
  • Managing agency: South Dakota state agency (PAD-US category: state land board). We don’t have a verified direct link for this manager; the state wildlife agency above can point you to the right office.
  • Boundaries: PAD-US boundaries are approximate and simplified here. Use the agency’s official maps and respect adjacent private land.

State trust lands are managed to earn revenue; public access and hunting rules vary widely by state and may require a permit.
