SD Pheasant Season Off To Strong Start

(Pierre, SD). — Pheasant season is off to a strong start for 2022 in South Dakota. State officials tied to the pheasant and tourism industries remain optimistic about this year’s season after steady declines in both license sales and bird numbers in recent years. Officials say hunters are reporting solid results in the field and businesses that rely on pheasant hunting are reporting strong revenues. Last year, over one million birds were taken by hunters.
