During hearings on finalizations you can only testify on the rule change proposal. During “Open Forum” you can testify on anything. Finalization hearings precede the Open Forum. \nAlso go to the Event’s Calendar posting on March 6-7th meeting for more information on issues. After the meetings we post a summary of what happened and the issues:.- https://phas-wsd.org/event/sd-game-fish-and-parks-commission-meeting-pierre-sd-and-zoom/ \nAlso visit our mt. lion action alert web page \nIssues we are concerned about for 4/3/25 \n1.  Allowing hound hunting of lions on the prairie unit to originate on public and private land\, with consent of owner. This would be a change from the status quo which allows hound hunting on private land and  only on public land if the chase moves  from private to public land.  We oppose this rule change and urge folks to write or testify in opposition to this. Go to our web site on Mt Lions for talking points. \nLink to PHAS comment letter on Mt.Lion Season proposal:   https://phas-wsd.org/wp-content/uploads/Mt-Lion-PHAS-Comment-325_F.pdf \n2. Allowing a rocky mountain sheep to be shot in the Deadwood unit – concern is that population is too low to support killing one. We are investigating this rule change. \n3. Allow the SDGFP  hunting area that supports the west river prairie elk season to be increased to overlap west river Lakota Reservations\, so Caucasians can hunt elk on private land in-holdings within the reservations.  The tribes oppose this. At the public hearing on 3/6/25 representatives from Lower Brule Sioux Tribe\, Rosebud Sioux Tribe\, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and Oglala Sioux Tribes spoke against the rule change. We are investigating this rule change. \nLink to PHAS comment letter on Prairie Elk Season proposal  –https://phas-wsd.org/wp-content/uploads/prairie-Elk-comment-PHAS-F.pdf
