South Dakota and Michigan Deer Hunting Information and Deadlines

South Dakota Deer Hunting Deadlines:
If you plan to hunt West River Deer, Black Hills Deer, or Custer State Park - PAPER APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED TODAY or you can apply online until the 24th (8 am). Go to http://goo.gl/cy6XY for more information.

Also, rule changes have been proposed for depradation hunts.  One change would be that hunters could apply for a maximum of 10 counties, where in the past the number they could apply for was not limited.  The major proble
m was that the purpose of the hunts is to relieve depradation primarily on AG land - with the unlimited counties hunters were not typically responding in a suitable time frame to do any good.  For more information look up "rule proposals" on http://goo.gl/rHeSM page.  Send email comments to wild.info@state.sd.us.
