License Information
Resident and nonresident small game licenses can be purchased online with a credit card or from a license agent in towns across South Dakota. South Dakota residents will need an annual small game, 1-day small game, youth small game, combination, or junior combination license to hunt pheasants. Nonresident adults need a SD nonresident small game license. The cost is $121 and is valid for two, five-day periods that the applicant must designate at the time of applying. Pheasant hunting not for you? Fishing has become one of the most popular outdoor activities in America and is enjoyed year round in Mitchell. Just outside Mitchell, the James River and Lake Mitchell offer great fishing for crappie, bluegill and small-mouth bass.
Mitchell's Great Outdoors Ride through town on the Dry Run Creek Bike & Walking Path or on the scenic bypass past Cadwell Sports Complex. Just a few blocks over you’ll find Lake Mitchell, where you can explore the brand-new pump track, ride or hike on single-track trails, relax on the public beach or use the group facilities and playgrounds.
Bring your clubs and take your shot at the engaging Lakeview Golf Course overlooking Lake Mitchell. Or try your swing at Wild Oak Golf Course, whose 18 holes wind along Firesteel Creek. Whatever your adventure, Mitchell is home to all the ways you love to be outdoors.
