Visit GFP Sports Show Booth March 9-12 in Sioux Falls
Hunting, fishing, camping and other information for enjoying South Dakota’s outdoors

PIERRE, S.D. - Outdoor enthusiasts can visit with Game, Fish and Parks officials and get the department’s latest publications at the March 9-12 sports show in Sioux Falls.

Division of Wildlife Communications Manager Chuck Schlueter said staff members from both the Wildlife Division and the Parks and Recreation Division will be represented at the Sioux Empire Sportsmen’s Boat, Camping and Vacation Show in the Sioux Falls Arena and Civic Center.

"Department staff will be available to discuss fishing, hunting, camping and other outdoor-related topics as well as ask general questions of our professional staff," Schlueter said. "It is a great opportunity to find out what has been happening and what is new in South Dakota's outdoors."

The Wildlife Division will have copies of its 2006 SD Fishing Handbook, public Fishing and Hunting Areas booklets, application deadlines, 2006 Conservation Digest calendars and other back issues of the department’s popular bimonthly magazine.

The Parks and Recreation Division will sell its annual park entrance license, Mickelson Trail passes, the South Dakota State Park Trail Atlas and copies of the new Campground Map Book. Many free publications, such as the 2006 Park Times, the Tatanka, and many other outdoor recreation publications will also be available.

In addition, staff will be available to answer questions and guide visitors through the steps of reserving campsites online. A computer will be set up at the booth, and with the help of staff, visitors can set up an account and make camping reservations during the show.

Hunting, fishing, camping and other information for enjoying South Dakota’s outdoors can be found on the Game, Fish and Parks website at www.sdgfp.info.
