PIERRE (AP) — South Dakota will get almost 20 more private shooting preserves this year which will cover an additional 18,000 acres of land.
The shooting preserves typically serve nonresident pheasant hunters who are looking for high bird numbers, The Capital Journal reported.
Jennelle Blaha, the preserve-program coordinator for the state Game, Fish and Parks Department, said economic recovery and a decrease in the state’s wild bird population has helped push for the preserve increase.
“I think more of the public is coming back to South Dakota to hunt,” Blaha said.
