| 689.1 | Heres a little info. | CSC32::SCHIMPF |  | Wed Jul 11 1990 11:55 | 27 | 
|  |     I've never hunted in S. Dakota, but here is some info from the
    July/Aug. issue of Hunt Mag.  
    
    License Fees: NonRes. General hunt license --- $ 5.00
                  This is for a 5 day period.
          
                  "    " Small Game License    --- $ 50.00
    
    
                  "    " Dakota game stamp     ---  $ 8.00
    
    It really doesn't tell which or if all the licenses are required.
    
    The limits according to the mag. are 3 Cocks a day; Poss. limit after 5
    days is 15.
    
    I know this isn't much too go on; Ya might want to write or call the
    Wildlife Dept. for S. Dakota to get more specific info.  What I got
    this from was basically an article about a part. outfitter..

|  |     Unless it has changed this year, out-of-state rates and bag limits are
    the same in Iowa as those just posted for South Dakota.  I would
    suggest you consider Iowa (the central part of the state is best in
    general) - it's a shorter drive and it is <arguably> the best state in
    the nation for the colorful birds.......  Season opener is usually the
    last Saturday in Oct.; go then if you can

| 689.4 | IOWA is GREAT!!! | DNEAST::SCHNEIDER_JA |  | Sat Jul 21 1990 20:33 | 13 | 
|  |     	I AGREE!!! with .2***  I spent 3 weeks in IOWA last fall, Cedar
    Rapids, Iowa City and down near Burlington... Walking the cricks
    (brooks to you NE'ers) and drainage ditches we put up clouds of birds.
    I wore 17 lbs off of one dog and ten from another, and those were just
    my dogs.
    
    	Late season is good too. After the snow flies, the cocks sit
    tighter and you get better shots. Lots of CRP land in some areas,
    that's a real challange for a dog....
    
    Looking forward to going back!!!

| 689.6 | SD is the place | MAIL::AWE |  | Wed Aug 15 1990 16:57 | 21 | 
|  |     hello my name is dean,
    
    i used to live in aberdeen s.d. which is in the norheast part of the 
    state  and from my experience s.d. has the best phesant hunting.
    approx 10 years ago they raised the limit of cocks Taken per day
    because they were so plentiful.
    
    some big named celebrities used to hunt there every year .
    
    my borhter still lives there and has good luck every year.
    
    my wife is from iowa so i go there often and know of alot of people
    who go shoot the colorful birds and also have good luck.
    
    as far as which to go i would recommend iowa just becuase of the money
    but if you ever had the chance i'd make the little extra trip and go
    
    you definitely don't have to work very hard for the birds at either
    place
    
    good hunting     mdvax1::awe
