PIERRE, S.D. - Starting this Saturday, South Dakota hunters will get another chance to bag a deer. 

The muzzleloader deer season will run December 13, 2008-January 31, 2009. All “any deer” tags will convert to “antlerless deer” after December 31, 2008.  Hunters participating in the season must use a muzzleloader with open or peep sites and it must be capable of shooting a .44 caliber bullet or larger.

Individuals may have up to five licenses for this season. Antlerless deer licenses are valid statewide and may be purchased either through the mail by paper application or by online application through the Game, Fish and Parks Department Web site at www.sdgfp.info. Hunters should allow at least 7-10 days for the processing and return of licenses when applying
