There was a proposal presented, , to increase hound hunting of cougars in the prairie unit to allow hunters to hunt on public land (currently can only hunt on public land if the chase began on private land and moved to public land). This proposal moved forward to finalization hearing on March 6th. There is also a proposal on Bear Butte Public Use Restriction, about spreading human remains.

Please write in opposition to this cougar hunting proposal or attend to testify against it.

You can testify during open forum in person or on Zoom (2 pm CT) . Please inform Liz Kierl at liz.kierl@state.sd.us by 1 pm CST if you plan to speak during the meeting
