South Dakota wildlife officials are reducing the number of deer hunting licenses available in some areas because disease has killed many white-tailed deer.
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease or EHD has hit particularly hard in some areas of south-central and southeastern South Dakota.The Game, Fish and Parks Department says all unsold deer licenses will be removed from some hunting units in Bennett, Gregory and Jackson counties. Another 200 licenses will be removed in Meade County.Officials also are notifying deer hunters that they can get a refund of their license fees if they return licenses before seasons start.
