Look up the Fort Pierre and Buffalo Gap National Grasslands that might be your best bet just get hold of a map as it mixes in with private ground but most folks won't care if your killing yotes out that way most likely. More land then you can hunt out that way most gates are marked. I'd hunt the edge of the Badlands but make sure you know where your at don't want to go on Federal ground.
The Black Hills National Forest gets a lot of traffic even in the winter hard to find a place in the winter without vehicle tracks already there.

Virgin unhunted ground may be out there but most of it has been at least traveled over by a vehicle with a gun onboard. Coyotes over 1 year old know full well what a truck means. Some very experienced guys know how and where they can hunt tight to the vehicle however most do not use enough shoe leather.
It's also windier country out there, the wind can be your friend if you use it right.

Get the Walk-in maps, lot of private land leased to the state for hunting. Also along side of the Missouri River the whole length I believe. Yes that Corp of Engineers "Take ground" along the Missouri River is public to a certain elevation they have orange markers along the way!

Yes that Corp of Engineers "Take ground" along the Missouri River is public to a certain elevation they have orange markers along the way! But you have to have the ability to access it. A limited number of public roads get down to the take land. I got refused to cross less than 200 meters of private ground in your county Law Dog to reach public take land. Then again, maybe they wanted fewer eyes watching their for-pay goose and pheassy hunting operation. Of course, the CO was no where to be found to actually settle the situation...

Seeing how they are not allowed to run paid hunts on public ground they maybe did not want you around the best access is by boat to avoid the access issues. We hunted deer like that in past years just go back to the far end and let the other push to you. LOL
