A5 is correct. The 660 safety zone only applies to road right of ways. It does not apply to private or public land inside the boundaries of the right of ways. A person may build a house next to a WPA/GPA/Walk-in Areas or private property, but the 660 law does not apply. Hunters can go right...

The geese are coming off the Missouri river flying out to feed and returning. The geese can be shot at as they pass over the section line. Same rules for unarmed retrieval as upland birds. The uproar for outlawing pass shooting would match or exceed the road hunting passion. Same players would...

I have tried all kinds of signs, but they do tend to attract people who feel a need to pattern their shotgun. I asked the game warden about the lasers. If I use one, the GFP would consider that hunter harassment. I thought about cutting the telephone poles down, but I don't need the jail time. I...

I have tried everything I can think of. It is just the way it is. The GFP has to follow the law as written. If I get an exemption, everyone else will want one. I do agree with you the shot is not dangerous about 99% of the time, eyeballs are exception. I do know that getting hit in the head the...

50 mph wind gusts are the probably the biggest culprit. Also, the county won't let you put permanent signs in the right of way, it might obstruct someone's vision or run into it. You are right about the trespassing and destroying property. But you still have to catch them. I have tried trail...

I have tried signs, several different types colors, ect. They just seemed to disappear. Once the pass shooters learn about the cattle, and return another day, they seem to follow the law, whether I am there or not. It's the never-ending supply of newbies that makes it so frustrating, along with...

You The GFP safety zone signs that are up, legally only covers 660 feet from your dwelling, livestock are considered mobile, it is up to the hunter to maintain the proper distance. Outbuildings and equipment are also not covered You can put up a handmade sign, but it is as good in court as one...

[] (Also, where/when did Kevin Jensen say he only road hunts?? I sure didn't hear it.) He said it in the committee meeting. Senator Pischke stated in general session he got an e-mail from a hunter in Wisconsin stating he would not come her anymore if this law passed, right after he mentioned...

At 39.25 in the video Sen Pischke verifies my point.... "what is this going to do to tourism?" Out of state hunters are threating not to come to South Dakota. The senator who is a shooting instructor also stated that road hunting is the only way he hunts, just looking out for himself. Mow Baby Mow!

HB 1236 House committee passes 10-2 House general session passes 51-19 Senate committee passes 4-3 Department of tourism gets involved They did not think the bill would get this far. Senate general session defeated 29-5 The mighty dollar wins again, landowners screwed once more. When I...

As a landowner in South Dakota, I am in favor of increasing the safety zone. The law states 660 feet from an occupied building, but most farmstead are much larger than 1 house. My cattle lot is 600 feet from my house and behind a shelter belt, yet the safety zone sign is placed according to...

Is there any chance you can do a controlled burn? That is one of the best ways to knock back the brome and stimulate warm season grass growth. Trying to use chemicals in a mixed species pasture is tough, you have to time it perfect. The brome would need to be sprayed in the spring, before any...

It was a 12;00 start so the farmers could get chores done, then go hunting.

I suggest you find a local seed dealer/agronomist. They would be able to recommend different varieties, seeding rates, mixes, maturity dates, seeding rates and such, that will work for your location. They will be able to provide info for the pre-emergence chemicals and rates too. What works for...

A 400-pound heifer calf sells for around $1600, 1000-pound yearling around $2200, if they are bred heifers even more. I pulled these numbers off the local sale barns Jan 3rd market report. You need to be real good friends with your banker to play in today's markets

Thanks for the information on what cattle cost. I have been raising cattle for over 40 years and will definitely tell the sale barn that you say they are only worth 200 dollars. I will try to get a refund on the $2500 per head of the heifers I just bought.

Obviously, you have not lost $1200 calves to coyotes.

the spikelet's (seeds)are too far apart for western wheat. They are also solitary. another trait. Tall wheat grows 3-7 feet tall. Western wheat grows 1-2 1/2 feet, with the seed spike 2-6" in length.

Without a close-up picture of the crop, possibly winter wheat, forage wheat, or winter triticale.

Tall wheatgrass
