Prairie Dog Season Set

GETTYSBURG, S.D. — The S.D. Game, Fish and Parks Commission accepted Wildlife Division staff recommendations for setting rules for hunting prairie dogs at its November meeting at Gettysburg. The season was accepted without changes from 2007 and consequently is set for 2008 without a public hearing. The rules used for the prairie dog season in 2007 will also apply in 2008. The season is open year-round on private land and from Jan. 1 through Feb. 28 and June 15 through Dec. 31 on public land. The season is closed year-round in the Conata Basin in the Buffalo Gap National Grasslands. There are no restrictions on daily or possession limits or shooting hours.
