South Dakota state wildlife officials decide next week whether to raise South Dakota's current 3 bird daily pheasant bag limit to 5 cock pheasants daily. Under the proposal, the current 15 bird pheasant possession limit would increase to 25 male pheasants. The Game, Fish and Parks Commission will discuss the matter at its meeting in Pierre December 3 through 4, 2009.
The proposal is being considered because of the delayed harvest of crops this fall due to wet weather. The large amount of standing crops has provided excellent cover for birds. If the emergency rule is adopted, it would take effect Saturday, December 5, and remain in place until the pheasant season ends next January 3, 2010. We will update the blog as soon as a decision is made - so check back soon!
