Email to a Friend  Print this Article

PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Game Fish and Parks Commission has finalized several small-game hunting seasons.

Because there were no recommended changes to the Grouse, Partridge, Quail, Cottontail Rabbit, Tree Squirrel, Crow, Sandhills Crane and Common Snipe Seasons, they seasons were finalized and set.

The Commission has proposed adjusting the Oct. 31 ending date of the 2010 Mourning Dove Season to November 9. The annual season begins Sept. 1.

The Commission will take final action on that at its April 8-9 meeting at the Crossroads Hotel in Huron.

Information on season proposals is available at the GFP Web site at www.sdgfp.info under the headings “About Game, Fish and Parks” and “GFP Commission.”

 

Residents who would like to provide written comments on the proposed Mourning Dove Season may do so up until 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 7. Those comments may be mailed to Game, Fish and Parks Commission, 523 E. Capitol Ave., Pierre, SD 57501 or e-mailed to wildinfo@state.sd.us. All comments must have the sender’s full name and address in order to become part of the public record.

 

Comments may also be presented in person at the GFP Commission meeting during the public hearing, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. CDT on Thursday, April 8.
