Nonresident Waterfowl Licenses To Stay Same In South Dakota

Associated Press0

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota’s Game, Fish and Parks Commission has once again declined to increase licenses for nonresident waterfowl hunters.

The commission has refused to consider a petition from the South Dakota Opportunity Group sportsmen’s organization that advocated changes including increasing nonresident waterfowl licenses by 5 percent.

The Capital Journal reports ( ) that the petition came five months after the commission unanimously rejected other proposed changes aimed at increasing the number of out-of-state waterfowl hunters in South Dakota.

Proponents of expanding nonresident waterfowl hunting believe it would boost the state’s economy. Opponents believe it would degrade hunting opportunities for state residents.
