Can’t find SD 2023 harvest report

[TGM]

Anyone have a link to the 2023 harvest report? I think it comes out in the summer.

Hasn't been published yet that I'm aware of. As of today, these contain the best info.

I wonder if when the data comes out, will there be two different figures, or perhaps an asterisk denotation? Perhaps similar to the following; "figure A is a total harvest estimate of rooster pheasants in SD. This also includes birds which may or may not have distended nasal passages and/or manicured toenails."

Haha. You beat me to it. Flare nares need to be accounted for in that harvest total.

Haha. You beat me to it. Flare nares need to be accounted for in that harvest total.

The flare nares reported at preserves by law are 350,000-ish & are not included in hunter surveys. So my guess is FNs shot elsewhere that MIGHT get included in the survey would be at MOST 150,000 & probably considerably less, say 75,000. Either way, it's a drop in the bucket compared to well over 1M. I've come across a grand total of 1 FN in the last several years. Maybe they're just too smart for me & Ace.
