Apprentice and youth deer hunters will now face more restricted hunting areas in South Dakota's East River region. The rule eliminates hunting opportunities in 11 specific East River units (07A, 07B, 08A, 12A, 12B, 19A, 34A, 37A, 44A, 61A, and 62A) for both apprentice and youth hunters, while keeping West River units open. Hunters in the affected areas will need to pursue their antlerless deer licenses in other designated zones or seasons.
