RE: elk in the black hills
Much of the land in western part of the state is tied up in lease lands and ranch sponsered hunts. In some areas there would be no problem getting permission to hunt does. The country is overrun with does. Mostly because of the pay hunting. They only allow four point or bigger so the doe Populatiion has gone wild. The biggest population of deer is along The Chyenne and Bellfouch Rivers and all along the big river on both side of Pierre. When I get moved back out there I may be able to line something up. My wife is working up here in ND so I am here most of the time.
