South Dakota is about the 3rd Saturday in September to December 31st - with antlerless tags extended till (now I forget...) either the 15th or 31st of January which is GREAT... This lets a guy hunt for a buck all year & then fill an antlerless tag AFTER buck season closes - but I prefer to take my 1st doe early & get some fresh jerky & sticks done up for the season... Rifle & Muzzleloader come in & out during nov/dec but archery doesn't close.

Minnesota (home) is typically the 2nd week of Sept thru Dec 31 with rifle season for 16 days in early November & Muzzleloader to follow around Thanksgiving for a few weeks.
