South Dakota Pheasant Forecast \u2013 Aberdeen Pheasant Coalition and everything looks to be positive and great in Aberdeen, SD.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here is a simple equation that any outdoor enthusiast can appreciate:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Habitat + Pheasants = Pheasant Hunters + Economic Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that pheasant numbers are directly correlated to good habitat (for nesting, brood rearing, and winter cover).  We know that pheasant hunters bring millions of dollars into the Aberdeen Area economy each year.  Therefore:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Habitat = MORE Pheasants   <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Pheasants = More Hunters      <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Hunters = Better economy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret how important pheasants are to Aberdeen…and how important habitat is to our pheasants.  Not one group understands that better than the Aberdeen Pheasant Coalition<\/a>.  The Aberdeen Pheasant Coalition (APC) is a group of Aberdeen area businesses and organizations working to raise $100,000 for sustainable habitat.  This money will be used as extra incentive for landowners to enroll property into the USDA’s CRP program and the South Dakota Game, Fish and Park’s public Walk-In hunting access program. At this level, 4000 acres of excellent pheasant habitat will be made open and available to public hunting in the Aberdeen area. The APC is spearheaded by the local Northern South Dakota Pheasants Forever Chapter #77. What is good for pheasants is good for Aberdeen! Current members include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
