Quail Hunting


Quail can be tracked in the southeastern corner of South Dakota—specifically, the counties of Tripp, Yankton, Clay, Union, Bon Homme, Gregory, Lincoln, and Charles Mix. They are often combination-hunted with other species in the same area. 

Quail Season and Location

The quail hunting season runs from the middle of October through the beginning of January. They are located in the southeastern part of the state.

Applying for a License

Like all small game hunting in the state you must apply for a license. To learn more about the hunting dates and licensing information please check our South Dakota Hunting License page.
