Schnee was born on April 7, 1917 to Bob and Maggie (Illing- worth) Schnee in Kadoka, South Dakota. And to this family, Harold had two brothers, Milo and Linton, and one sister, Ruth Solberg. Harold went to grade school in Kadoka and graduated the salutato- rian of his high school graduating class. He rode a horse six miles to school for several years. “That was until I talked my parents into buying me a bicycle, which was a big mistake,” Harold said with a laugh. How- ever, he enjoyed driving his mother to church six miles with a single horse buggy. He married Mary J. Burton on August 19, 1967 and they made their home in Kadoka. Harold’s family is made up of four children: Clinton, Carol (Labau), Caron (Mielke), and one stepdaughter, Ter esa Burton (Smith). He is also lucky to have five grandchildren living in Kadoka: Aubrey Schnee and Ana, Molly, Kate and Max KcKeehan. After serving in the United States Army from 1942-1945, he returned to his hometown of Kadoka where he continues to l ive. Some of the organizations Harold has belonged to include the Pres-  byterian Church in Kadok a where he served as a Deacon for 50 years. He was also on the school board for 30 years and served as the president for one year. One of Harold’s favorite hobbies include 30 years of riding motorcy- cles, including going to the rally in Sturgis. He started the first Family Wagon Train in this area and the Badlands Wagon Train. He also spent Kadoka Area School presents: A Christmas Carol The Musical The cast and crew from A Christmas Carol … Performances were held last Friday and Saturday night and again on Sunday. --photos by Ronda Dennis The Cratchit family … Pictured (L-R) Gracie Eisenbraun as Bella Cratchit, Keena Byrd-Moro as Mrs. Cratchit, Aybree Pitman as Martha Cratchit, Kate McKeehan as Tiny Tim and Dylan Moro as Mr. Cratchit.

The Kountry Kousins 4-H club will be raising money for their club and will be serving chili and homemade cinnamon rolls following the KCBA activities.  SDSU Extention One year later This fall, many livestock produc- ers veterinarian Jim Stangle works with have to be creative when it comes to finding forage for their cattle. The drought left them with re- duced hay supplies and little to no winter grazing. To help ensure that the forages his clients find are safe to feed, the Haakon County veteri- narian tests samples of standing forages for nitrates. "Because of the drought we knew nitrates would be a big prob- lem this year. I took an SDSU Ex- tension training course so I could provide local testing to producers in my area," said Stangle, who was one of many South Dakota veteri- narians to receive certification from SDSU Extension this summer on the Nitrate Quik test.  Along with gett ing their forages tested for nitrates, Stangle says that because many of his clients have to purchase additional forages or protein supplements, this year, many cattle producers rely on SDSU Extension to provide them with unbiased information on af- fordable options, as well as, cus- tomized feed rations. "Because they aren't selling a product, producers know they can trust SDSU Extension Field Spe- cialists for unbiased recommenda- tions," Stangle said.  Adele Hart y is t he SDSU Exten- sion Cow/Calf Field Specialist ers, within the new staffing model, Harty now focuses on working specifically with cow/calf produc- ers. And, instead of only serving producers within a seven-county area, she works with all South Dakota cattle producers. "I was raised on a cow/calf oper- ation. My education is focused in cow/calf nutrition. Before I was re- hired, I worked with all livestock producers. Now that I'm able to focus on, and work with solely cow/calf producers; I can utilize my knowledge, experience and educa- tion to help SD cow/calf producers to become better at what they are already good at," Harty said.  As a field specialist within today's SDSU Extension staffing model, Harty and her peers are ex- pected to have their master's de- gree. Also, instead of working out of county offices, today field special- ists office in one of eight regional centers, but often travel through- out the state. "This provides a greater level of expertise to the entire state," said Rosie Nold, SDSU Extension Pro- gram Director for Agriculture and Natural Resources. "Instead of gen- eralists in each county, we have several specialized staff serving the entire state. This allows SDSU Ex- tension to provide a deeper level of focus, expertise and research-based information to help solve the chal- lenging questions or issues South

I’ve worked as a waiter. I cancarry full cups of coffee around ata goodly rate of speed withoutspilling them. Well, er, usually Ican. Sometimes I may slop a littleif I try to go through a door whilecarrying something in addition tothe coffee. Going through both the

front door and the screen door canbe problematic as well. Still, I havefairly good liquid-carrying skills.

As you go through life, if youdon’t watch out, you’re apt to gainskills at this and that (like coffee-carrying) from jobs or experiencesyou happen to have. Take cooking,for example. I’ve always cookedsome so as to avoid starvationwhen left to my own devices. Ilearned quite a bit more about it,though, when I took up trying tofeed the wife, son and some ranchguys in addition to myself. As ithappened, we decided many yearsago to home-school son Chance,and wife Corinne wasn’t sure shecould both teach and cook. Thecooking was known to take quite abit of time, especially on thosedays the men came for dinnerwhich they did fairly often. As a re-sult, I volunteered for kitchenduty. This was fine, but I had to

stretch my meager skills some-what to avoid serving the samefare every day and also to accom-modate some food sensitivitiesplus likes and dislikes. I basicallycan and do eat almost everythingwithout much trouble, but thisdoesn’t hold true for everyone.

Anyway, through doing it, Ilearned to cook a varied menu.What’s more, I tend to get carriedaway with any project I take on soI learned a lot more than strictlynecessary through my fondness forexperimentation. Some experi-ments came out nicely and othersnot so much. Scones were not amajor success. Even the dogwouldn’t eat them. He buried theminstead. Tacos, on the other hand,turned out well including makingthe shells from scratch. We haveeaten a lot of those.

I have also invented various

menu items and desserts althoughoften from goofing up and trying tocorrect matters. Take the chocolatecherry meringue cake I came upwith through accidentally addingtoo much sugar when trying tomake an angel-food cake. Aftercogitating over that mistake a bit,I decided to add some cocoa andchopped cherries and see whathappened. It turned out very wellindeed, and I still make it fromtime to time. I had to call it ameringue cake because adding toomuch sugar to egg whites gives

you meringue, not angel food, butthat’s no big deal.

The other day, though, I messedup making that cake by setting theoven to 275 degrees instead of 325.I didn’t notice the error until afterI’d taken the pan out and turned itupside down to cool. The cake then

fell out of the tin so something wasobviously wrong—namely it wasbadly undercooked. Taking a hintfrom how you warm up Frenchbread (according to the breadwrapper,) I cranked the oven up to400 degrees and threw the confec-tion back in the oven for ten min-utes although I wasn’t at all surehow that would come out. Luckilyit worked, and the cake was saved.

Alas, the learning curve issomewhat bent in areas where youmay have experience but little ap-titude. Electrical, plumbing, andmechanical matters pop to mind.I’ve had to do some of all of thosethrough necessity, but I’m not afast learner. Basic stuff I can dothrough hard work and sweat, but,if things get complicated, I call forhelp. Carpentry is a little easierbut still not my best suit.

Then, too, if you live longenough, some of the things you’ve

learned become obsolete. Take carengines, for example. I know a lit-tle about carburetors but nothingabout fuel injection. Electrical sys-tems on modern cars are com-pletely beyond me. You have tohave complicated electronic gear tofigure out what is wrong, and I’mnot really interested in learningthat. Similarly, through great ef-fort, I learned to develop photo-graphic film and make both colorand black-and-white prints fromnegatives. Now, thanks to the dig-ital revolution, you can barely buyfilm anymore. That’s okay, how-ever. I don’t miss all those smellychemicals and the tedium involvedwith using them. Digital camerasare great and computer printing

 just fine.At the moment, though, I am a

little short on my coffee consump-tion for the day. I’d better correct

that and maybe take some blackliquid out onto the deck to drink.That is not a problem. I’m prettygood at carrying coffee around.Maybe, too, I’ll take my digitalcamera along and try to capturethe sunset, which seems to beshaping up nicely. Life goes on.Live and learn.

(By the way, opinions vary.Corinne has a lower opinion of mycoffee-carrying skills than I do.Something about spots on thefloor.)

Learning Curve

Lookin’ Aroundby Syd Iwan

John and Jo Rodgers have pur-

chased the Belvidere Store. Theyhope to reopen it after the first of the year and offer gas and somegroceries. They are working to getthings organized and set up. OnSunday, Jo and Jory attended St.Peter Lutheran Church north of old Stamford and then stayed onfor Jory to attend confirmationclasses. Jo continues to float somewith her post office work andworked a couple days in Belviderelast week. Jory hurt his elbow so issidelined at the moment fromwrestling. He hopes to be back at itlater this week. John said the Na-tional Final Rodeo starts on Thurs-day, and they are planning to havethat on the TV at JR’s since a lot of local folks like to keep close tabs onthat.

Mary Johnston helped with re-lease time on Wednesday inKadoka. After that, she picked upnursing home and the two went forpie and coffee at Jigger’s.

Bonenbergers acquired a pet goosenamed Goose-Goose recently froma friend in Kadoka. This seems tobe a friendly fowl that the kidsenjoy. It hangs out with the ducksbut not so much with the chickens.Nikki said they have enough chick-ens to supply their own needs plusa bit more. She made some pickledeggs this week to use up some ex-cess eggs. Nikki also mentionedthat they still have some goldfishin their stock tanks although theythought they didn’t for a while.They just can sometimes be hard tosee.

house!” or “I bought a car!” Shespeaks of her family very fondly.Dorothy’s dad and brother decidedto build the very first housetopChristmas decoration in Water-town, which had reindeer and asDorothy says it, “Santee Claus”.She said the people would drive bycar after car after car.

 Also in hi story, Dorothy recall sthe end of World War I. They wereliving in Moosejaw, Saskatchewanand bells & whistles started toblare out on the streets signifyingthe war was over! People werechanting, “The war is over! Thewar is over!”

With only a few remaining rela-tives, she and Stanley Beal, heryounger cousin, at the age of 92,who lives in Minnesota still corre-spond by mail.

Nearing the end of this inter-view in her room at Jenkins LivingCenter, Dorothy looked up andsaid, “Every morning, I wake upand think ‘I’m still here!’

The Century Club is a creationof the South Dakota Health Care

 Association and has recognizedover 1,000 South Dakotans sinceits beginning in 1997. CenturyClub sponsors created the Club to

The South Dakota Century Clubis honored to have just received anapplication form Dorothy Antritterof Watertown, age 108, which nowmakes her the oldest resident inthe Club! After the recent an-nouncement of Beryl Kapaun pass-ing, who was the Century Club’soldest resident, friends stepped for-

ward and filed an application formto induct Dorothy into the Club.

Dorothy, the daughter and lastsurviving child of Charlie andLouise (Pfefferle) Antritter, wasborn November 25, 1904, in RoundLake, Minnesota. Dorothy’s fatheremigrated from Germany in 1885when he was 8; her mother at theage of 5. Dorothy remembers herfamily singing German songs, someof which Dorothy will still singwhen asked.

For six years, the Antritter Fam-ily lived in Moose Jaw,Saskatchewan. Dorothy said thatshe had to take 2nd and 3rd gradestwice because the U.S. educationsystem was behind. But, she alsonoted, that upon return to thestates, she skipped the eighthgrade! She says, “I never took 8thgrade!”

Dorothy was also on the Water-

town Arrow Basketball Team andwhen asked if she was good shereplies, “Well, I was the tallest andwore a size 11 shoe! They onlyplayed against classes in theirschool, seniors against juniors.”Which meant she played againsther sister, Ruby, who was one yearolder and passed away over a yearago at 108. Remembering herschool days, Dorothy still recallsthe high school she attended beingacross the street from where sheresides today.

Dorothy worked for Alan Austinas a legal secretary for many, manyyears and retired in 1967. In re-sponse to how well she did her job.Dorothy responded, “I was good! Iwas the highest paid secretary inthe office! My paycheck was$50/month.” When asked what shedid, “I pounded the typewriter justlike any other secretary, but I had

to do shorthand first.” She hasnever used a computer but recallsthe first time she used an electrictypewriter - it scared her to deathbecause it went so fast and jumpedright out at her. Dorothy exclaims,“I walked to work, back and forthfrom lunch and home again, tenblocks one way! Do you think any-one does that today?”

Dorothy’s family was a veryclose-knit unit. When a trip was tobe taken, they all went, Mom, Dad,and all three kids. Sometimes theywere even gone for months at atime. She has traveled to everystate with the exception of Hawaiisince she has never flown in her lifetime. Looking off into the distance,Dorothy said, “I wish I could travelagain. You see a lot of things whenyou travel by bus.”

She recalls many occasionswhere her dad would come homeone day and say, “I bought a

Kadoka and the State of SouthDakota has been enjoying warmDecember weather. Sunday’s tem-perature hit over 70 degrees in sev-

eral cities in the state. There hasbeen little moisture for months, butmaybe next week some snow willbe on the horizon. The nice weatherhas been great for everyone who isputting up Christmas decorations.

tail operations in South Dakota.But if you buy your iPod from Ama-zon.com, you don’t pay sales tax – simply because Amazon has nowarehouse or other physical loca-tion in South Dakota.

Here’s an even worse example: A customer can walk into a SouthDakota business, browse the mer-chandise, talk to the salesman,then pull out his smartphone, scanthe barcode, and order the productfrom an online retailer – whilestanding in the store!

Like most South Dakotans, I donot support raising tax rates. How-ever, I do support equity and uni-formity among those who makesales to South Dakotans. If SouthDakota retailers have to pay salestaxes, their competitors onlineshould as well. This is not a newtax – it is asking online retailers topay the tax that is already legallydue on these sales.

We should be constantly strivingto add more taxpayers, not addingmore taxes or increasing tax rates.Whether by adding online retailersto the tax rolls, encouraging busi-ness growth or getting unemployedfolks back to work, we should striveto achieve a broad, stable tax base.

Online shopping has given everySouth Dakotan access to moregoods and services than ever be-fore, if they are willing to pay forshipping. There is nothing wrongwith this. We should not, however,

disadvantage our local retailers orour state budget by allowing out-of-state online businesses to avoidpaying sales tax.

We need Congress to act, and Isupport Congressional efforts tosimplify and standardize remit-tance of sales taxes collected fromonline purchases. It creates aneven playing field for our local busi-nesses and increases tax revenuesthe right way- by adding more tax-payers, not more taxes or higherrates.

The days following Thanksgiv-ing are widely known for launchingthe Christmas shopping season, asretailer specials draw crowds of shoppers. The shopping days havebecome so ingrained in our Ameri-can culture they have earned theirown nicknames: ‘Black Friday,’‘Small Business Saturday,’ and‘Cyber Monday.’

Cyber Monday (November 26)was the date on which online re-tailers offered large discounts anddramatically boosted their sales.Each year, Cyber Monday sets anew record for money spent onlinein a single day. This year was nodifferent, with some analysts esti-mating more than $1.5 billion dol-lars spent during the 24-hourperiod. I expect the trend held truein South Dakota as well. The 2012Cyber Monday gift-buying bingealso likely broke another record:most purchases made in SouthDakota without paying sales tax.

Currently, only businesses witha ‘substantial nexus’ or physicalpresence in South Dakota must col-lect sales tax on goods purchasedonline. Out-of-state retailers, whoare not physically located in SouthDakota, have no such obligation.The current system doesn’t makesense, and it even discriminatesamong online purchases. If you buya new iPod at your local retailer,you pay the sales tax. If you buy itonline at BestBuy.com or Wal-

Mart.com, you pay the sales tax,because those businesses have re-

More taxpayers, NOT more taxesGov. Dennis Daugaard

need to proceed with caution whendealing with online retailers.

Online Shopping Tips:Consumers using the internet to

find the perfect gift should avoidusing email links. These links canappear to be from a known busi-ness, when in fact they are comingfrom a different company alto-gether.

Use credit cards for online pur-chases. If there is a problem withthe purchase it is much easier to

dispute the charges.Be leery of businesses who areoffering deep discounts. If it soundstoo good to true, then it likely is, soshop with reputable sellers.

If you have any additional ques-tions, contact the Attorney Gen-eral’s Consumer Protection Officeat 1-800-300-1986 or [email protected].

and surrender the entire carcasseswithin five days of harvest to GFPpersonnel for registration and tag-ging. Once the season is closed, anindividual has 24 hours to notifyGFP personnel of any untaggedbobcats harvested during the sea-son. No person may possess, pur-chase, or sell raw bobcat pelts thatare not legally tagged.

GFP, in conjunction with SouthDakota State University, is con-

ducting research on bobcat car-casses to obtain important

population and biological informa-tion.

“GFP is researching bobcats inseveral areas of South Dakota,”said Wildlife Damage Program Ad-ministrator Keith Fisk. “We’ll beevaluating reproduction, body con-dition, and stomach content of allharvested bobcats. As a result, car-casses – minus the lower jaw --may not be returned to hunters ortrappers for several months.”

The evaluation project is ex-pected to last the entire season.

“This information is necessaryfor managing bobcats and will as-sist us in future management di-rection in South Dakota,” Fisksaid.

For more information on thecomplete set of rules associatedwith trapping and shooting bob-cats, visit the GFP websitehttp://gfp.sd.gov/hunting/trap-ping/default.aspx or contact a localwildlife conservation officer,

wildlife damage specialist, or GFPDivision of Wildlife office.

With the 2012-13 bobcat seasonbeginning on Dec. 8, Game, Fishand Parks officials remind huntersand trappers of several new re-quirements and opportunities.

The first-ever bobcat season eastof the Missouri River will run fromDec. 8 through Dec. 30. Only thecounties of Buffalo, Brule, CharlesMix, Bon Homme, and Yankton areopen. Hunters and trappers are re-stricted to one bobcat per person in

those open counties.The bobcat season in all counties

west of the Missouri River willopen Dec. 8, 2012, and close on Feb.15, 2013. There is no limit on bob-cats in West River counties. A South Dakota Furbearer License isrequired to hunt or trap bobcatsand all bobcats must be checkedand tagged by GFP personnel.

 All hunters and trappers whotake bobcats are required to re-move the pelts from the carcasses

Healthier Holiday EatingThere are many temptations re-

lated to the holidays includingoverspending, overscheduling ourtime and unfortunately, overeat-ing. Consuming too much sugar,fat and calories can happen effort-lessly during the last two monthsof the year. It begins with consum-ing Halloween candy and finisheswith eggnog and fruitcake.

Studies show an average weightgain during the holidays of about1 pound. Studies also show thatpeople who are already overweightare more likely to gain five poundsor more during the holidays. It ispossible to avoid adding extrapounds during the holiday season.

 You can enjoy special holiday foodswithout gaining the traditionalholiday weight by making somesimple changes.

Balance what you eat with phys-ical activity to avoid gainingweight. You will gain weight if youeat more calories than you burn.Physical activity helps boost yourenergy level so you can be moreproductive during the holidays. Italso helps you to obtain a betterquality of sleep and releases emo-tional tension. One hour of walk-ing at a moderate pace can burnabout 225 calories. Consider doing

some type of aerobic exercise everyday to get your metabolism goingand elevated for up to 24 hours.

Holiday stress leaves many of usreaching for our favorite home-made goodies. Chemical reactionstake place when we are stressedthat cause us to want to eat. Theresult is a temporary feeling of comfort and joy that makes uswant to eat more. Another itemthat is also consumed duringstressful times is caffeine. It pro-vides short term energy, but toomuch may prevent good sleep andwithout proper rest it’s hard to ac-complish everything we need toand the stress continues.

Here are some helpful tips foreating sensibly at holiday partiesand gatherings. •Never go to aparty hungry. •Stick to a regulareating schedule. Skipping mealslowers blood sugar levels and

causes you to overeat the rest of the day to make up for missedcalories. •Take your own low-calo-rie food to the party to replacehigh-fat items like cheese andcrackers. Good choices includebite-size fruit or veggies and a low-calorie dip. •Use a small plate sothat it looks full. Fill up onhealthy calories first. •Fill half your plate with fruit and vegeta-bles, one quarter of your plate withprotein and one quarter with car-bohydrates. Choose complex carbo-hydrates such as whole grains,whole-wheat pasta, oatmeal,legumes and sweet potatoes.They help you maintain a steadymetabolism without the highs andlows of blood sugar swings. •Be-fore going back for seconds, wait20 minutes—it takes that long foryour stomach to tell your brainthat you’re full.

Don’t drink your calories. Con-

sume alcohol in moderation andkeep in mind that it can increase

your appetite. Eggnog is a holidayfavorite but a non-alcoholic, 8-ounce serving made with wholemilk has 342 calories and 19grams of fat. Add alcohol to theeggnog and the calories increase tonearly 450 calories.

Modify the recipes of some of your favorite holiday foods to re-duce the fat, sugar and salt andadd fiber. Generally the total fat in

recipes can be reduced by one-third. For recipes such as brown-ies, cakes and baked breads thatcall for 1 cup of oil , you can replace1/2 cup of the oil with 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce.

How many calories do you thinkyou consume by taking only a fewtastes through the day? Here are afew examples: Can’t pass up theeggnog so you decide to have onlya 1/2 of a cup (4 ounces)? Thatequals 200 calories. Can’t pass upthe candy tray at church and de-cide on a chocolate-covered cherry?That equals 60 calories. Decide toeat less than half of the cookie thatyou “accidently” broke when re-moving it from the baking sheet?That equals 30 calories. Choose toeat one more dipped chip beforemoving away from the buffettable? That equals 75 calories. Youcan have a one-pound weight gain

every time you consume 3,500calories above what your bodyneeds.

 Avoid overeating during the hol-iday to elude that promise thatyou’ll go on a diet after the New

 Year. Enjoy modified recipes andhealthy holiday eating tips cour-tesy of Utah State University Ex-tension by going tohttp://bit.ly/TvOvhD.

Condition of the Winter Wheat Crop

The fall of 2012 has been a chal-lenge for South Dakota’s winterwheat producers as they faced verydry soil conditions to plant into.During the week of November 25,2012, 64 percent of winter wheatin South Dakota was rated in pooror very poor condition. This ratingwas the worst of any state in theprimary winter wheat growing re-

gion.The quick development of se-

vere to exceptional drought, ac-cording to the U.S. DroughtM o n i t o r(http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/),has affected much of the wheatproducing areas of the US. Thewinter wheat crop conditions inthe central US has affected the na-tional rating, which is now at itslowest level since records of thistype began in 1986.

The South Dakota Weekly CropWeather Report, published by theNational Agricultural StatisticsService puts the hard red winterwheat of South Dakota at 60 per-cent emerged as of 25 November.Other states have significantlybetter ratings, both in conditionand percent emerged. Some peoplebelieve the report of 60 percent of winter wheat emerged seems high.

The NASS crop progress estimatesare based on a subjective opinionsurvey of county officials, whichare not claimed to be statisticallyaccurate. The important fact isthat even if the figure is high, 60%is the lowest percent of winterwheat emerged by late Novemberin South Dakota since at least1990. One other fall that standsout with a low percentage of win-

ter wheat emergence in SouthDakota was 2000, when 74% of thecrop was reported emerged in No-vember. The statewide averageyield in 2001 was 32 Bu/acre,which tied for the 2nd and 3rd low-est yield since 1990. It is not advis-able to make yield predictions forthe 2013 cropping season based onthis however.

Many areas where winterwheat was planted into dry soil

have received small amounts of moisture via rain and/or snow.This limited moisture has causedsome of the wheat to sprout, butlittle has actually emerged to a sig-nificant degree. These seedlingshave used energy reserves fromthe seed, and have not been able togenerate photosynthetic activityand develop crowns to store energyfor winter survival. Without addi-tional moisture, the sproutedseedlings may dry out and die.

Dry soil cools off more quicklyand will get colder than soil withadequate moisture, if low air tem-peratures occur without snow forinsulation. This potential exposureto low temperatures could con-tribute to significant winterkill fora crop in marginal condition. Mois-ture in the form of either rain orsnow would improve the conditionof the crop and chances for its sur-

vival. However prospects for mois-ture don’t look good.

Producers may want to wait be-fore making decisions such as fer-tilizing until they have a betterhandle on the potential of the crop.

 As spring approaches, winterwheat growers will want to assessthe condition of the crop. If thecrop is insured, producers shouldcontact their crop insurance agent

Winner Regional Extension Center Bob Fanning, Plant Pathology Field Specialist • 605-842-1267

before taking steps to terminatethe crop and initiate alternativeplans.

The good news is that if the cropsurvives, it is almost certain thatthe plants will vernalize and pro-duce a seed head. All that is neces-sary for the winter wheat plants tovernalize is for the kernel to takeon moisture and swell, and gothrough a period of about 3 weeksat about 40 degrees or lower. It isalmost unheard of for winter wheat

planted in the fall in South Dakotato not complete that process. It iswell known among producers thatwheat, particularly winter wheat,is a tough crop and can surpriseyou with its resiliency.

The South Dakota Game, Fishand Parks Commission has pro-posed a slight reduction in licensesfor the 2013 Spring Prairie TurkeySeason.

The commission has recom-mended a reduction in one-tag“male” turkey licenses by 105 andreduce the two-tag “any turkey” li-censes by 200 compared to 2012.

The commission also is propos-ing 10 resident archery turkey li-censees for the Blood Run Nature

 Area and 10 resident archery li-

censees to hunt at the AdamsHomestead and Nature Preservethrough the issuance of “access per-mits” via a lottery drawing.

A modification of the spring unitboundaries for the Black Hills and49A to be consistent with the fallturkey unit boundaries was alsoproposed.

The proposals will be finalizedat the Dec. 6-7 GFP meeting at thePierre Ramkota.

To comment, [email protected] with yourname and city. You can also com-ment in person at the Decembermeeting. Proposals will begin at 2p.m., CST on Thursday, Dec. 6.
