The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Commission (GFP) created an avenue for nonprofit organizations to apply for deer licenses for disabled veterans and purple heart recipients.
Nonprofit organizations can now obtain up to 10 any deer licenses that would be valid on private lands only.
Sponsoring nonprofit organizations will be required to complete and submit an application to the Department stating the name, address, and phone number of the sponsoring organization; the requested date of the season; the location of the hunt; and the name of any landowner providing private land access for the hunt.
The commission also modified the season dates for disabled veterans to pheasant hunt. The new rules detail the process for nonprofits to offer pheasant hunts for qualifying veterans, beginning Sept. 1 and running through the end of the regular pheasant hunting season.
