South Dakota Hunting Question?

We are in the works of putting together a public hunting area trip to SD and need to know if SD requires out of state hunters to have hunter safety card/cert.! Here in Missouri I am old enough I was grandfathered in and have never taken it. I know when we went to Kansas the permit sales clerk said it was required there and did me a solid by using another # somehow. Hate to get out there and be turned back because I did not have it! Thanks

Not required. There regulations call for a dog health certificate although in 20 years of hunting there i have never heard of anyone being asked for one.

Been there twice and I'm grandfathered in Wi. They did not ask me for one.

I always buy my license online an haven't had an issue------but I watched a family from out of state at the Mitchell Cabela's last year get turned away while attempting to buy their out of state licenses at a area setup near the back of the store - I don't know if they were State or Cabela's employees. The child had taken hunter safety, had a patch on his vest, but no number or certificate/card to show them. They wouldn't sell him a license. There were some very unhappy and disappointed people.

Just called the South Dakota Department of Wildlife and requested my public land atlas, the 2012 ones will be sent out in Sept.. While I had them on the phone I found out that anyone over 16 years of age does not have to have hunter safety and health papers on dogs from a vet are required. Thanks for all the help.

For any form of bird hunting there is no requirement for a certification. Big game such as deer and turkey require an huter education course. If you only archery hunt then you can get by with an Archery safety course.

I was grandfathered here in Missouri. I went ahead and took the Hunter Safety Class, because I missed Ks. cut-off by 2 years. Didn't have any problems in SD. We most likely will be heading to SD this year after our abysmal trip to Ks. last year.
