GFP Announces Hunt for Habitat Winners
PIERRE, S.D. – The South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department (GFP) has announced the winners of the 2021 Hunt for Habitat raffle.
Part of Governor Noem’s Second Century Initiative, the Hunt for Habitat raffle supports habitat enhancements on public lands across South Dakota. This year, the raffle raised $329,920 to improve habitat in South Dakota. Since it’s first year in 2019, the raffle has raised over one million dollars and improved over 7,000 acres of public land.
“The Second Century Initiative ensures that South Dakota continues to be the best place in the world to hunt pheasants,” said Governor Noem. “Our ringnecks need quality habitat to thrive, and the Hunt for Habitat raffle helps make that a reality. Thanks to everyone who participated!”
PIERRE, S.D. – Governor Kristi Noem and the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks (GFP) have announced the results of the 2021 Nest Predator Bounty Program. 53,642 total nest predator tails were turned in by 2,773 participants. The Nest Predator Bounty Program reduces local nest predator populations as a way to enhance pheasant and duck nest success.
“South Dakota is one of the only states that hunts our state bird. The nest predator bounty program began in 2019 as a key component of my Second Century Initiative,” said Governor Kristi Noem. “It’s a great way to encourage youth and families to get outside and ensure trapping remains a part of South Dakota’s long-standing outdoor heritage. And it’s leading to higher nest success, which means more beautiful ringnecks for our hunters.”
