The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission has decided to keep the sage grouse hunting season closed for 2021.
Preliminary survey results indicate a similar or slightly fewer number of males as documented in 2020 and below the threshold of the season recommendation guidelines found within the sage-grouse management plan.
The sage grouse season has been closed for 7 of the past 8 years, except in 2016 when 10 birds were harvested.
