south dakota black hills

[24_7hunter]

My dad and I are looking into hunting the black hills nat. forest in south dakota for deer. It would be a do it yourself hunt. I was wondering what the drawing odds were for drawing a deer tag in the south dakota black hills region? Is there a good success rate for killing a deer? What is a good part of the forest to hunt? we dont care too much if we get whitetails or muleys, we just want to get away from the midwest for a while. thank you, clay

If you are hunting Muleys you will want to head east or north from the hills the bucks are bigger, you have a lot WT in and around the hills, but the same is out in the praries too. 150 class is a nice deer for that area, WT 130 class with a few bigger ones one here and there, Out on the grass lands you will find the class will climb up some, But it will be a great hunt no matter which way you go if a can be any more help send me a PM
