Are there downloadable layers for South Dakota for like other western states? I found their public land layer on their website. Not sure if they have layers out there already for game management boundaries and such.
Thanks!
Late posting this, but thought I would share. It's my 10 year old son's first deer, that happens to also be a dandy buck for Kentucky.
He has hunted with me for a long time, but always told me he wanted the first deer to be a good one. Big Buck Down is what he used to say. He has passed on...

Have states made any declaration about COVID and tag returns? I lost my job as a result to the virus and Colorado hit my bank account this morning for my successful 4th season mule deer draw.
My wife isn’t particularly happy about seeing the money go since we are budgeting pretty tight these...
I can’t find any info about this anywhere and thought I would ask here. Purple Martins. Why do Purple Martin houses go on poles? Can’t they go on the peak of a shed just as well?
My wife wants houses to attract the birds. I want them too but don’t want to put 20’ poles up just for a bird...
I have neglected the topic of premiums, deductibles, copays and coinsurance for too long. Any recommendation on places to go for meaningful education on health insurance 101 for dummies? I simply would like to understand if I am getting a good deal on a plan or not or if my company plan is...
Prayers to the patriots in Richmond Virginia today. I pray they stand strong. I pray they do not get set up on this day to extract a heavy toll on freedom!!

I have 4 mule deer preference points for Colorado and I think I am going to use them in 2020. I am planning for a 4th season hunt. I have the gear for a cold, backcountry, wilderness hunt but this year, to my delight, my wife and kids want to come with for a vacation/hunt. We will most likely be...
Thought I would post for the Indiana guys on here. From the webpage......

I am looking for some advice. I have been collecting points in Colorado. I keep hearing about Colorado and their no man's land. I have 4 mule deer points and 4 elk points. Is one of those further into no man's land than the other? I want to start cashing them in next year. I would love to...
Planning a family vacation to Gulf Shores Alabama this fall. My wife is green-lighting a side hog hunt. Can anybody recommend a good outfitter I should look into? I have done some preliminary research and nothing really stands out yet. Thanks in advance for the help.
I have heard that planning a spring bear hunt can be impacted by snowpack levels/trends. Is there a good indicator in that data that suggests when melt off is? I have flexible time off and would like to time it right. Just looking for pointers on what to look for in this years snowpack data or...
Beginning the research for 2019, Colorado and Mule Deer. I have never hunted for mule deer....I have a lot of questions. The biggest so far.....
1) I am noticing that some deer units in Colorado take less points for 3rd season than they do in 4th season. Is that all rut related? Or is it...
I am having a tough time finding any GIS data about South Dakota hunting units that can be imported into Google Earth. I have found MVUM maps and parks and recreation maps, but no unit boundary information I can use as a non-resident deer hunter. Any help pointing me in the right direction...
Looking for some help. I am taking a democratic approach to my 2019 western hunt schedule. I did Idaho elk in 2016 and Wyoming elk this year. I would like to plan for 2 trips in 2019 with one of them being the South Dakota Black Hills listed below. My research so far shows the Black Hills as...
What exactly is it?
On a map I have, it says "Motor vehicle use off designated roads for the purpose of dispersed camping is permitted for up to 300 feet from the centerline of the road, allowing the same vehicles the road allows and the same season as the road is open."
I speak english, but...
Backpacking in around bears it is a pretty known strategy to hang your food far away from your camp. What about truck camping? Is it ok to keep it in your truck/camper? Or should you take it and hang it separately away from camp too?

A couple of questions:
1) When does Wyoming finalize their elk job completion reports for last winter? Best I can tell, the website only has winter 2016-2017 data.
2) Anybody have some experience in the Dubois area that wouldn't mind me bouncing some questions off of them? Going solo this...
