South Dakota Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

Which age group is permitted to hunt alone in South Dakota, given they have the proper licenses?

1. Individuals under 16 years old

2. 16 to 18 years old

3. Over 12 years old with hunter safety certification

4. All ages with parental supervision

The correct answer is: 16 to 18 years old

In South Dakota, individuals between the ages of 16 to 18 years old are permitted to hunt alone as long as they have the proper licenses. This age group falls within a range where they are considered mature enough to handle hunting responsibilities independently while still being under the age of 18. It is important to note that individuals under 16 years old generally require supervision while hunting, and those over 12 years old with hunter safety certification may still need to be accompanied by an adult depending on their age.
