Bighorn sheep

It’s that time of year again. Get those big steel shots out and chase after the most frustrating bird there is. First time you hunt them is for fun, all the times after is for revenge. Good luck!

Arizona draw deadline is February 6. Don’t wait until the last minute, their site had a tendency to be overrun the last day. Good luck!

Wyoming elk deer and antelope Application deadline is today, January 31. Big changes this year for general units and cost of license in the special draw so this is a year you really never know what will happen. Good luck!

Don’t forget to get your points so you can get your tags next year. If you are new to the state or just have questions I can give you some incite on how this state works for points as well as others in the country. Very difficult to get good tags if you don’t understand the point and draw structure of the western states.

Hunting, Fishing or Camping in South Dakota? The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks' website has the outdoor related information you need. Buy your license, apply for a big game tag and reserve your campsite on-line.

Pheasant season is in full swing and the weather is finally on our side this year. Good luck finding that trophy long tailed rooster and give me a call to bring it back to life.

If you have a deer you are planning to euro mount, please get them in by tomorrow. Weather looks warm this week and it will be the last week I get them cleaned. All other will have to wait until the spring before I will get to them. $160 plus tax.

I’ve take in some of the biggest deer from thanksgiving through the end of the season because of this I believe. Get after it if you still have a tag. Big ones will show up looking at those does who are going to have to eat now that we have the cold weather. Good luck!

Won’t be long now. Good luck everyone these next 16 days!

Make sure to get your applications in for deer. Looks like you get until tomorrow. Good luck!

Due to increased volume to Go Outdoors South Dakota, applications for the 2023 East River, West River, Black Hills, Custer State Park, Refuge, and Muzzleloader Deer seasons have been extended to Thursday, June 15 at 8 a.m. Central Time.

During 9 p.m.-1 a.m. overnight Tuesday, June 13, our vendor-developed licensing system experienced a blackout due to site volume. GFP wants to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to get their applications submitted, which is why the deadline has been extended.

Now is an excellent time to login to Go Outdoors South Dakota, view your applications you have submitted, edit if necessary, and if you have not yet applied do so right now:
