South Dakota Is Losing Its Hometown Pheasant Hunters. Meanwhile, the Nonresident Business Is Booming

[Nick87]

I take the ferry to work and land in the area between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. It's all high end duck clubs in the area. $100,000 entry fee plus yearly dues. They all have built dams around there fields and pump them full from the Mississippi. I have a good buddy that's ate up with duck hunting. He has pretty much stopped hunting locally and goes to Saskatchewan for 3 weeks every year but even that is getting overrun with outfitters from the united states.

Thats pretty much how I feel and do with most of my hunting now. Bith deer and birds. Which is why other states are seeing a influx of NR pressure. Domino effect.
