Ringneck pheasant controversy in South Dakota season
South Dakota's glamour game bird the ringneck pheasant will be at the center of debate as the State Game, Fish and Parks Commission approves a four day hunting season in the main pheasant range. The Oct. 19 to Nov. 22 period covers most counties east of the Missouri River with a brief western strip. A final Dec. 2 to 15 segment caps the hunt with three birds per day and 15 in possession. Officials cite a potential 30 percent drop in pheasant numbers from last year and note last season's forecasts had urged a longer 64 day season due to anticipated population gains.
