Pheasant Economics (2007)


Note:  Expenditures of resident and nonresident upland game hunters while hunting in South Dakota were obtained from the
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation-South Dakota 
and adjusted for an annual inflation rate of 3%.  These county-specific spending estimates were generated by applying
mean per-hunter spending estimates to the number and distribution of pheasant hunters as derived from the 2007 SD GFP 
upland game harvest surveys.
