Showing resident results. Switch to nonresident
South Dakota draws this hunt for residents only — there are no nonresident results to show. The numbers below are the resident draw.
No longer drawn — the last draw was 2022
South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks held its 2026 deer draw without CUD-CU1-13. The odds, costs and history below are that record, not an offer.
Odds by point level — 2022 draw
Undersubscribed: 39 first-choice applicants for 50 tags in 2022, so every first-choice applicant drew and 11 tags went to the leftover draw — the 100% reflects low demand, not a great tag. A code like this can flip the year demand catches up.

Preference points, computed from published point-level pools. A dash means South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks did not publish a count for that level. How we compute these.
What it costs (2022 resident fees)
Everyone who applied in 2022 drew this tag.
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $5 (Sep 15 – Dec 15, expected) and adds a point for next year's draw.
Next application window: opens May 27, closes Jun 23, 2027 (expected) · results ~July 2. Last cycle's schedule rolled forward — confirm when the agency publishes.
Point creep & years to draw
Insufficient history (0 of 3 draws) — a creep trend needs at least three draw years with a published drew-out level.

How to read these numbers
Every percentage on this page is a prior-draw probability: the chance an applicant with that many points would have drawn in the draw year shown, computed from the agency's published results. It is not a forecast — quotas, applicant numbers, and point creep change every year. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Under five tags the percentage is flagged: one applicant either way swings it. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
Not an application service
Draw rules, quotas, fees and deadlines are set by each agency and change by commission action. Check the agency's site and apply there; we don't take applications.
