Just a heads up that the 2017 vendor passes for Black Hills National Forest are on sale Friday, December 2. They're half price on that day only. I know that most of the time we aren't asked to see them during the ice fishing season. Still, it's a good opportunity to get it out of the way for the rest of the year. They're available at District Ranger offices in Rapid, Spearfish, Custer, and Sundance.
