Commission proposes adjustments for bighorn sheep auction tag license

Posted

PIERRE – The South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks (GFP) Commission proposed to remove the November 1 deadline for nonprofit groups to submit an application letter for the opportunity to auction the bighorn sheep auction tag license.

The commission proposal would allow the commission to establish a new date to allow flexibility in conjunction with the bighorn sheep auction.

The Commission also proposed to allow the bighorn sheep auction license to be valid in both Custer County and the Badlands hunting units.
