Hunting and FishingSouth Dakota is a hunting and fishing paradise.

Rain, snow or sunshine, hunting is available year-round in South Dakota. From big game to some of the best pheasant hunting in the world, hunters flock to South Dakota to bag their limit.

Walleye, bass, northern pike, salmon, catfish, trout and others make their home in South Dakota's waters. With 1,100 square miles of freshwater and nearly 30 species of fish, anglers will find that deciding which of the state's regions to fish is a bigger problem than getting the fish to bite.
