Hunters Reminded to Check Their Big Game Preference Points

PIERRE, S.D. – With 2009 elk big game season applications opening, the South Dakota Game Fish and Parks want to remind hunters to double check their preference points during the on line process.

“GFP issues one preference point card for all seasons by mail in February, but we encourage applicants to verify their preference points for each season on their online profile at http://www.sdgfp.info/licenses.htm,” said Wildlife Division Licensing Supervisor Shon Eide.

 “Incorrect preference totals in a particular season are rare, but if someone is concerned that the number of points is inaccurate, I encourage them to call our licensing office at 605-773-3393. We will verify accuracy and if there is a problem we will work to correct it.”
