Obtaining A South Dakota
Hunting License
Resident and nonresident hunting licenses may be purchased at many sporting goods stores, hardware stores, convenience stores and some County Treasurer's Offices.
Licenses may also be purchased over the internet using a home computer and attached printer. The process for purchasing online licenses can be accessed at the Game, Fish & Parks website: www.sdgfp.info.
Licenses must be in the licensee's possession while hunting, trapping or transporting game and must be exhibited on demand of any person.
