Just an FYI. SD uses a bonus point system, not a preference point system. I know they call it a preference point system but it is not. It is true random draw.
I am happy that the Dakotas have made it into the INSIDER platform. I spoke to Brady about these a while back as I am sure many others were hoping that these states would be added eventually. As someone who hopes to hunt pronghorn in every state that I can get a non resident tag no matter the weapon type, South Dakota is on my list even if I have to chase them with a bow. Thanks for sharing, I will look forward to the strategy article.
It is probably important to note the changes in place this year for South Dakota too. There is now a cap on Non-Resident archery and antelope tags on public lands only, which is new to South Dakota for 2023. The capped tags are also now a statewide tag only, which differs from previous years where an applicant could select East River, West River, or Statewide. The application deadlines mentioned in this video for deer and antelope are also specific only to public lands. South Dakota still offers unlimited private land archery tags for deer and antelope, which do not have an application deadline, but as mentioned, are specific to private lands only. Rifle deer and antelope tags are a unit specific application process that will open this summer and have deadlines in mid-June, and mid-August, respectively.
Thanks for watching the video Jarrell! To answer your question, no they did not. The public land tags for nonresident archery deer and antelope are now on a draw system and there is a quota. There are nonresident archery deer and antelope tags for “private land only” that are OTC/unlimited. Not to mention the rifle tags have many draw and OTC opportunities for nonresidents. But there is still some time for those. We will be putting out an app strategy article going over those opportunities.
There are plenty of nonresident rifle deer tag opportunities which are handled through the draw. Those deadlines aren’t until this summer though. We will be putting out an application strategy for those opportunities. Thanks for watching the video! We hoped this information helped.
I'd respectfully ask that you keep ruining the hunting to other states and leave SD alone, enough groups and channels have started to exploit the assets and opportunities here enough, thank you!
Very difficult state to hunt unless you have quality private access and/or are willing to pay hefty access fees for that private. Most landowners hate seeing the out-of-staters and aren't super friendly towards them either. Now the state gfp is making it even more difficult for nonresident hunters to earn a tag as well. I hunted this state while in college as a resident and learned that the Black Hills are overrun with hunters and any other public land in the state can be an army of hunters even during the week. Really not many quality animals that hang around on public land, especially after the resident season. With only half the state even having a population of mule deer and (barely any) antelope, and nonresidents not even being able to hunt deer until October after residents have taken their pick, probably be better off focusing on other states like Nebraska or North Dakota.
Thanks for the comment. Great stuff Gage! All of the new changes you mentioned are covered in the upcoming application strategy for Nonresident Deer/Antelope that can be found on our website. Thanks again for watching!

How’d that ‘1oz’ of TP go Brady….🤣 Congrats, looking forward to hearing about the hunt….
Did South Dakota get rid of the non resident otc tags and go to a strictly draw system

Thank you for sharing this information
God's Blessings
Isn’t there a non resident rifle deer tag?

I clicked on this video just to find this comment. Amen.
I agree fully. Its getting ridiculous on public since a certain group of lubetubers started showcasing SD every year

Yes, you are right. Best to look elsewhere.
So are there rifle deer tags available to nonresidents?

Don’t come to SD, no good hunting, go to ND, stay away
