For hunting in South Dakota, what type of safety course certification is required for all first-time hunters born after June 30, 1979?

In order to hunt in South Dakota, a first-time hunter must be certified in Hunter Education, regardless of birth date, as it is required by law. While B, C, and D can all be helpful skills for hunting, they are not required for first-time hunters and do not provide the necessary safety training for hunting in South Dakota.
