Odds by point level — 2024 draw
Undersubscribed: 1 of 8 tags claimed by first-choice nonresident applicants in 2024. Everyone who applied drew and the rest 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.
Prior-draw probability for a first-choice nonresident applicant. 8 tags, 1 first-choice applicants. Source: GoOutdoors South Dakota Draw... · EventID=229331.

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 (2024 nonresident fees)
Not applying this year? A point-only purchase costs $10 (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.

As a lower choice
Drawn at this choice ÷ applicants listing it at this choice, as published. Points do not help a lower choice.

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. Every figure links to the agency document it came from. Where a state does not publish a number, we show a dash, never a zero. Hunts with fewer than five tags show counts instead of percentages. Fees show the fee year used. Read the methodology for the engine details.
