POSITIONS OF PHAS.
One should object to the greater sage grouse hunting season. The greater sage grouse should be federally listed under the ESA, but congress has passed riders on various bills, outlawing ESA listing.
On should object to dusky grouse hunting in the Black Hills/Bearlodge areas of the Black Hills. The dusky grouse is believed extirpated from the Black Hills/Bearlodge. Several SDGFP reintroduction efforts failed. PHAS has received an unverified sighting of a dusky grouse south of Tinton, SD. There should be no hunting of dusky grouse in the Black Hills.
