Youth Hunting On The Rise In South Dakota
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2020 was anything but a normal year for most of the world. Overall, South Dakota remained opened and gave people the opportunity to still enjoy what the state has to offer. One activity that stands out from all the rest and encourages people to visit South Dakota is hunting.
This past year, the vast majority of the world stayed at home. Parents turned their kitchens into home offices, and children made the tables their classrooms. Once kids finished their remote learning for the day, kids spent a considerable amount of time playing video games or texting on their phones. This scenario however was definitely not the case for many South Dakota kiddos. In fact, they did their best to get outside! Some kids even experienced their first hunting season in the state.
