Merriams outfitter

[WW]

Who have you guys hunted with and would recommend in SD and or Wyoming? Looking to kill 2-3 in SD and one in Wyoming if the outfitter has land in both states.

Unless I'm mistaken, 2-3 birds in SD will require a Plains tag and a Black Hills tag unless you can get leftover tags.  Some of the Plains tags allow two birds (at least they used to).  I suppose there are outfitters that can set both up, but 3 birds may require hunting a reservation.  The deadline to apply for Plains tags may not be too far off.  Its been a while since I hunted there, so I'd definitely start looking at the regs immediately to see when the deadlines come up.

I better do some checking on the deadline then! Thanks!

Its a do able hunt,,,you can kill 2 in the prairie, but you must apply for tags,,,One in the hills,,,birds are really down there,,,,
Then there is the Reservation Land,,,I am working on getting tags for one now,,,will let you know when I get it worked out!!
Having hunted SD and Montana last year I suggest you look at WY,,,snowed out,,but talked to several folks who had great hunts on public there! best longbeards
