We looked at SD last year when we were headed to WY and NE. It IS confusing and that's why we ruled SD out...……...we thought it was draw only. So a guy could go into Walmart in Rapid City or Spearfish and buy a Black Hills tag ??
When are thinking of going? I'll be out there 25th to 1st.
Black Hills are NOT a draw..anyone can get atleast 1..It is not OTC in the way most people refer.You either get it mailed to you or you must pick it up in Pierre..Residents can get a 2nd tag later in the season.Prairie tags ARE a draw however certain stages of the draw you can buy pretty much as many as you want of the leftovers(leftovers are leftovers for a reason!) but once again you must have them mailed to you or go to PIERRE..one does not simply go to wallyworld or mom n pops tackle store..best of luck
What would it cost for a non resident to hunt the black hills? Thinking of heading out there next week on a whim.

The tag is guaranteed, but the steps to get it are just like a draw for a prairie unit. So to say it isn’t a draw at all is a little misleading. They may not call it a draw, but once again the process is exactly the same as one. So for someone that is looking at it for the first time then thinking of it as a GUARANTEED DRAW probably would help a lot. Can you get them through the GFP office in Rapid City too? I think I’ve had friends stop by their office in Rapid and buy them there and they are residents. Draw #4 of the prairie units is when you can buy as many leftovers as you want. I usually go ahead and get my home unit on first draw and then see what’s available once it goes to leftovers. Usually end up buying 10+ more tags in my home unit.
