SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — With the East River deer hunting season officially open, the South Dakota Department of Game, Fish & Parks wants to remind hunters to be respectful of the land they’re hunting on.
Avoid parking on approaches that block access to pastures and fields that farmers and ranchers need to get to, and if you open a gate, close the gate behind you.
Pick up any trash you see, whether it is yours or not.
Never leave carcasses next to roads and parking areas.
When field dressing animals, gut piles should be disposed of away from highly visible areas.
Be safe while bagging that buck, and don’t forget to share your hunting experience online with the GF&P Department.
