South Dakota
• Coyote - Imagine, calling in a coyote from up to a mile out, watching him come in the whole way until he is within 50 yards or less, hair bristling, looking for dinner! It's the rush of a lifetime! While many hunters come upon coyotes incidentally during big game or even bird game hunts, there are those among us who thrive on targeting predators exclusively. For coyote hunting fanatics, predator seasons are all about the rush; more specifically "letting the air out of a wily coyote", prompting them to race into the prospect of an easy meal or perhaps a potential breeding partner. There are several ways to hunt coyotes, but the one most preferred is calling them in.
South Dakota prairie dog hunting is legendary. I have heard reports stating that South Dakota has more prairie dogs than the rest of the country combined. To "Prairie Dog Hunter's", that means an awful lot of long range target shooting! The prairie dog towns have been going through a rapid expansion.
