Never hunted around Huron so i can't say how it is. I do hunt in other parts of the state, been doing it for 20 years. Most places i hunt the ranchers are more than happy to have me there and some go out of there way to insure i have an injoyable hunt and they always ask me to comeback again next year. Alot of problems that you speak of were brought on by you and the residents of the state, i can remember the early years i could hunt just about anywhere, all i had to do was knock on a few doors. Now most of the areas are posted by leased hunters from the big cities in S.D. or the land has been bought up by them.. Now you knock on a door the rancher asks whats it worth to you to hunt my land...And like someone said in one of the posts the state sends out flyers to have us come to youre state and hunt..Hmmm
I have to admitt i have seen some groups that can be very dangerous to hunt with and i don't hunt with them, instead i come out on later date to do my hunting, fewer hunters then..
I think some of the statements mentioned, like shooting out windows and chaseing cows was alittle out of poportion..
Randy did make a good point also if it was'nt for non-res hunters there there would'nt be many stores open in the smaller towns of S.D., most would have gone belly up years ago...
On another note alot of S.D. Res. kids move to Mn. after graduation and go to school here and get jobs and then continue to live in our state. Then once or twice a year they return home to the famaly farm and hunt pheasants or deer.
I do alot of calling in S.D. but i have enough sense not to come-out and do it till deer/pheasant season is over...
