Antelope exist in South Dakota in smaller but overall healthy populations. Population densities are the highest in the western rangelands but herds exist in nearly every county west of the Missouri River and some counties directly east of the river.

Over-the-counter archery licenses are available for both residents and nonresidents but nonresidents may only hunt private lands with this license type. There are draw licenses available for nonresident archery public land huntng, though. Rifle tags are available that are valid for any antelope or doe antelope specifically but these must be drawn by all residences.
