South dakota waterfowl hunting questions???

[icecold]

Hi, i was wondering if anyone can help me with info about duck hunting in south dakota. I have been waterfowling for almost 40 years, but never left the state, my 2 sons would like to try hunting in south dakota for ducks, how do we go aboat finding a area to hunt, due to budget we cant hire a guide, this would only be a weekend trip ,im not looking for anyones secret spot, just would like to know what area of state would have some areas that we can go, preferable along the minn/south dakota border area. or how i can get maps etc, do most people hunt on dnr lands etc. thanks for any advice.

first thing is you can't hunt this year. South Dakota is a drawing that you have to get in back in the Summer. You can put in as individual or a group and I'd assume you'd go the group route.

Good news is you have plenty of time to plan for next year. You could go to North Dakota, no drawing.

unless you hunt the reservation land.
