South Dakota Game Fish and Parks

The magical time of the year for many has circled around the calendar again. Hunting season is firing up here in South Dakota and around the midwest.

As the swimming season starts to shut down across the state at outdoor pools, a different kind of conundrum is shutting down swimming at a local lake.

A small town in South Dakota has had Badgers showing up in places you don't normally see them.

It's definitely not a bad idea to secure your spot at a national park in the state if you’re planning a visit.

Whether it's a wild turkey trying to cross Minnesota Avenue or buffalo roaming the plains, animals are a huge part of the state.

It looks like Thanksgiving may be arriving early this year for a lot of Sioux Falls residents!

You'll see them in the Badlands or any town located on the west river side. But then again, there are a bunch of jackrabbits in Brookings (Haha, just kidding of course).

If this "city slicker" can do it, then nothing is impossible.

Around South Dakota, raccoons get into just about everything. Garbage cans, and vacant sheds, and this time 5 of them managed to squeeze into a live trap.

The numbers are in on South Dakota's most recent Bounty Hunt. At the top of the list this year, to nobody's surprise...
