The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) Commission voted against the use of non-toxic copper fluted bullets for big game hunting. Currently the only ammunition that is allowed is soft point or expanding bullets. The fluted bullet does not fit into either one of those categories. Commissioners expressed concern on the bullet’s performance in regards to big game hunting.
This proposal came from a petition submitted by Jeremy Silko of Rapid City at the November 2020 meeting, with the intent of giving hunters more options when looking for non-toxic ammunition.
