South Dakota Pheasant Hunting - Outdoors - Hunting

South Dakota pheasant hunting is one of the most popular recreational activities in the state, next to fishing. South Dakota pheasant hunting and other types of hunting contribute over $190 million to the economy. There are a lot of companies that offer pheasant hunting all over the state. To be able to do pheasant hunting, you need to get a hunting license. South Dakota non-resident hunting licenses are available over the counter at most convenience stores and sporting goods stores; you can also find it online.

South Dakota pheasant hunting season is usually around fall so if you are seeking the services of a company that provides pheasant hunting, you will need to make a reservation months in advance. Late season pheasant hunting is very popular among hunters because by this time, the crops are already harvested and the pheasants are concentrated into thicker habitat areas. These habitat areas consist of food plots, sloughs, shelter beds, and wide creek beds.

You can bring your own hunting dog to help you in your South Dakota pheasant hunting but you have to make sure that your dog is well-mannered, are able to take voice commands, and do not range excessively. If you do not own a hunting dog, companies that provide pheasant hunting services have trained Labrador retrievers that will accompany your hunting party during the hunt. They are well-mannered and have a range of 20-30 yards. Companies that provide South Dakota pheasant hunting have guides that are well-organized and have plenty of experience and knowledge in hunting so you can enjoy your hunting experience to the max.

Since the dawn of time, humans have been hunting animals. Being on top of the food chain certainly has its perks. Humans hunt animals for their skins (pelts) to make clothes and rugs, and more importantly, for food. Even though frozen food is now available at the supermarket, there are still people who hunt, but these days, they only hunt for the fun of it, and only occasionally do they eat what they captured. There are few Americans who hunt but some of them can be located in South Dakota. South Dakota pheasant hunting is very popular in the state, and contributes over $190 million in the state's economy.

The common pheasant is one of the game birds involved in pheasant hunting. The ring-necked pheasant is one of the members of the common pheasant family. The ring-necked pheasant, the state bird of South Dakota, is commonly found in Australia, Europe, and North America. The males have a long brown tail streaked with black markings and its plumage is brownish gold with green, purple, and white markings, while the females are less conspicuous, with their dull brown plumage and shorter tails.

Hunting is regulated by state law, with additional rules and regulations added by the United States environmental law in the case of hunting for endangered species and migratory birds. Different states have different hunting regulations. These regulations cover hunting areas, hunting methods and techniques, and hunting time periods. Some states have additional rules on hunting protected and unprotected species. Game animals that are usually hunted are divided into categories for regulatory purposes:

* Waterfowl - ducks, geese, swans * Upland game bird - turkeys, pheasants, quails, doves * Predators - bears, coyotes, cougars * Furbearers - minks, otters, bobcats * Small game - rabbits, hares, raccoons, armadillos * Big game - moose, elks, boars, bighorn sheep

For people who are hunting animals that are not considered big game, they are usually restricted with a possession limit or a bag limit. The possession limit is the maximum number of particular species of animal that a hunter can harvest in one day.
