RE: ARSD 41:06:57; Resident Pheasant Hunting Season
Any changes in the quantity and quality of pheasants available to non-residents will reduce the number of out of state hunters.
I was born and raised in Miller, I return every year as a non-resident hunter for Pheasant season. If this proposal goes through and residents are given the opportunity to harvest birds prior to non-residents there will be fewer birds for non-residents to hunt. Those birds that are left for non-residents will be spooked and harder to get. If non-resident success rates start to drop, or if the impression is that they are dropping, it won’t take long for word to spread within the hunting community, influencing hunters to consider Minnesota, Nebraska or Iowa as alternatives.
Right now South Dakota has the best Pheasant hunting in the world, I hope that you will continue to let non-resident hunters take advantage of it.
