gives manager jeff banister some flexibility with the batting order ; joey gallo ' s bat , which has produced 16 home runs , has to fit somewhere . expect better days ahead , though if texas does slide , it will have plenty to market , including pending free agents like pitchers yu
gallo and nichol have about 60 percent of the mutual fund ' s $ 572 million invested in muni bonds . the rest is in stocks such as at & t ; inc . , the largest u . s . telephone company . the approach is paying off in the worst year for stock markets since 2002 .
gallo , who has a bachelor ' s degree in economics from the university of michigan at ann arbor and a master ' s degree in public affairs from princeton university , owns $ 5 million worth of aaa - rated chicago metropolitan water reclamation district bonds , which have a 5 percent coupon and mature in 2028 .
gallo , 37 , a former analyst at the federal reserve bank of new york , and nichol , 43 , who used to oversee pension funds for the public employees retirement system of ohio , are beating rivals at funds such as the $ 622 million vanguard tax - managed balanced fund and the $ 373 million alliancebernstein tax - managed wealth preservation strategy .
when he won the jug preview in 2000 , gene riegle came up to me and told me that gallo ' s race [ winning in 1 : 50 flat ] was the biggest trip he had ever seen a horse go in his life ,
ford recalled .
he told me that he wouldn ' t get beat in the [ little brown jug ] in 100 years . he might beat himself , but no one else could .
ericson , who most recently served as vice president , southwest division manager with w . j . deutsch & sons , worked with v2 president dan leese and v2 general manager katy leese at 585 wine partners , where he held the position of partner / western division manager for four years . prior to that he was with brown - forman beverages for nine years and progressed through several top sales and marketing roles . he began his career with e & j gallo winery and also held positions at heublein wine group and glen ellen winery .
since stumbling into a 2 - 11 hole to start the season , the blue jays have had the al ' s second - best record ( 24 - 16 ) . and while they ' re still in last place in the al east , they ' re just 5 1 / 2 games behind the front - running yankees and two back in the wild card , and they are welcoming the bronx bombers to toronto for a four - game series starting thursday . as if that wasn ' t enough cause for optimism , lefty francisco liriano is coming back from a three - week dl stint because of a shoulder injury to start on friday .
not surprisingly , shares of these fast - growing , high - quality companies don ' t come cheap . but when you buy tomorrow ' s blue chips — companies that stand a good chance of graduating to gargantuan status and that are likely to thrive in the toughest economic environments — you have to be willing to pay up a bit . this kind of stock can serve as a cornerstone of your portfolio for decades to come .
whenever i find a company that is really durable and able to grow 10 % to 15 % a year in any economy , i am willing to give it a little more leash ,
says joe milano , manager of t . rowe price ' s new america growth fund .
with lefty danny duffy out six to eight weeks due to an oblique strain , selling seems the more likely route . fellow starter ian kennedy has an opt - out after this year , but his performance to date ( 5 . 12 era , 5 . 43 fip ) looks a lot more like his 2013 to ' 15 struggles ( 84 era + ) than his resurgence from last season ( 117 era + ) , his first year in kansas city . shortstop alcides escobar ( . 186 / . 212 / . 236 ) is a change - of - scenery candidate , at best . on the other hand , lefty jason vargas ( 2 . 39 era , 3 . 22 fip ) has pitched his way into being a significant trade chip .

east rutherford , nj – harness fans , eager to check out the new meadowlands racing & entertainment complex , stormed into the facility saturday night ( nov . 23 ) by the thousands . shortly after the opening ceremonies , a series of snow squalls also stormed into the east rutherford sports complex .
despite the high winds , the spirit of the estimated 15 , 000 fans would never be diminished as the new facility was as exciting as the racing product . five of the thirteen races were determined by winning margins of less than a length and ten were won by 2 lengths or less . possibly the most exciting was the neck victory by foiled again over warrawee needy in the final leg of the tvg ffa in 1 : 49 . 3 .
previous to the ribbon cutting , miss rodeo new jersey delivered a poignant national anthem , followed by opening remarks by sam mckee , chairman jeff gural , sboa / nj president tom luchento , and ceo jason settlemoir . fans were reminded that three years ago the sboa / nj and gural met with the nj governor’s administration and helped rescue the meadowlands racetrack from governmental extinction .
“three years later , we are here in a magnificent new building , at the premier track in north america , looking forward to showcasing the best harness racing presented anywhere in the world , ” luchento said .
patrons on the apron for the race two - tvg trot found themselves in a mini white - out due to a rapid burst of wind and snow . some of the best trotters in the world went behind the gate , where five out of the six starters were hambletonian finalists . wishing stone was victorious , and paid his supporters handsomely at odds of 9 - 1 .
one big fan of racing , usta executive director mike tanner found himself caught in the whirlwind . he proclaimed , “this place is great , ” as he tweeted ‘not pompano’ in response to the sudden blast of arctic air .
fans and horsepeople alike were ecstatic about the new building . janet terhune , director of the harness racing museum & hall of fame , exclaimed , “the new meadowlands is absolutely fantastic . trotters ( owners club ) is a great experience—it is very ‘clubby . ’ the whole facility is filled with people and everybody loves racing . ”
enjoying the atmosphere in trotters was the breeder of deweycheatumnhowe , steve jones . clearly enjoying his well appointed surroundings , “jonesy” stated , “the facility is fantastic . gural and his partners have done a great job . there is a lot of enthusiasm here . i like the night club , and all the gambling areas , the bars and everything ! i really think this is going to be a great place to be . ”


the southern redbelly dace ( chrosomus erythrogaster ) , is a north american species of temperate freshwater fish of the cyprinidae family .

the natural geographic range extends from western new york to minnesota , and south to oklahoma , arkansas , and alabama .

this fish prefers flowing pools of creeks and streams .

the extremely similar northern redbelly dace can be distinguished by a rounder , blunter head and a more upturned mouth , as well as by differences in spawning behavior .

also , male southern redbelly dace show a characteristic red belly in spring while their northern counterparts keep a white belly .

southern redbelly dace

the southern redbelly dace grows up to 3 inches and feeds on algae and plant debris as do the other two species of redbelly dace .
how often does reproduction occur ? southern redbelly dace breed multiple times in the spring .
dazzling breeding colors and a gentle disposition make the southern redbelly dace an excellent aquarium fish .
two male southern redbelly dace and an unknown fish at the top ( has to be southern redbelly dace , red shiner , ozark minnow , or bluntnose minnow ) on 3 / 29 / 02 during 153 gallon pond cleaning .
there are many species of dace including the blacknose , longnose , redbelly , pearl , redside , rosyside , and tennessee dace .
the bright colors and gentle nature of southern redbelly dace make them great aquarium pets . they are also used by fishers as bait fish .
currently , there are no serious threats facing southern redbelly dace , they are listed as a species of least concern on the iucn redlist .
the bright colors and docile temperament of southern redbelly dace make them great aquarium pets . they are also used by fishers as bait fish .
when southern redbelly dace encounter a threat , such as a predator , these fish school together rather than dart off alone , improving their chances of survival . southern redbelly dace are social and use a chemical alarm signal that warns others of threats in the area nearby ; this chemical also signals fish to school together for protection . since southern redbelly dace are so small and vulnerable , this species avoids exposure . these fish are diurnal feeders .

the very different spawning behaviors of southern and northern redbelly dace are perhaps adaptations to differences in habitat . southern redbelly dace occur in small flowing streams , often in wooded areas where submerged aquatic vegetation is sparse . riffle spawning is frequent in such habitats . the northern redbelly dace is found in ponds and pools of creeks , near vegetation ( page and burr 1991 ) ; such conditions favor spawning among plant thickets .
on 3 / 29 / 04 , i cleaned out the pond again . the southern redbelly dace was still there ! so were the two shiners . hurray ! below are photos of my one dace !
southern redbelly dace are continual egg scatterers that like to breed at around 70 to 75 degrees f with a strong current . they breed over gravel beds in moving water or near substrate spawning minnows . often , two males will spawn with a single female who lays a few hundred to a few thousand eggs . southern redbelly dace are riffle spawners . fry hatch in about six days . see the fourth link below for one aquarist ' s success at spawning southern redbelly dace .
southern redbelly dace are social and use a chemical alarm signal to warn others of nearby threats . this chemical also signals the fish to school together for protection .
the last southern redbelly dace pulled from my 153 gallon pond during cleaning on 4 / 2 / 03 . he was returned to the pond after the photo .

southern redbelly dace are not only prey for larger species in their habitat ; they are also a predatory species , feeding on small invertebrates . as an indicator species , the presence or absence of southern redbelly dace in streams helps determine the relative health of a stream . if the water is healthy , these fish , along with other species , will be thriving . however , if the water is unhealthy , populations of these fish will show a noticeable decline . this not only works as a pollution indicator , but also directs fishers to the healthiest populations of game fish .

it means that i do not know but others may know . also , please let me know if any of this information is incorrect or if you can add to it .
as mating season approaches , the coloration of sexually mature males becomes more vibrant , particularly in their fins and in the stripes located on their sides . this vibrant coloration helps them attract mates . since southern redbelly dace participate in polyandrous mating , there is little or no competition between male suitors .

the blackside , tennessee , mountain redbelly , and laurel daces are all found in the mid - eastern us . the blackside dace is native to kentucky , the laurel in virginia , and the mountain redbelly is found in west virginia , virginia , and north carolina . all four species are also found in tennessee .
) live in the southeastern michigan area , from lake erie to ohio . their range also includes areas of the great lakes , the mississippi river basins , and the white arkansas river drainage areas , all the way down to tennessee . there are a few records of southern redbelly dace populations in the kansas river system and the upper arkansas river drainages as well .
these fish should be kept in purely freshwater aquariums and kept out of native brackish communities . some experiments performed with the southern redbelly dace showed that even short term exposure to low levels of salinity ( 4 ppt , about 1 . 003 ) stresses these animals greatly . as fish that prefer more “neutral” water , they also likely do not need the added hardness or higher ph .

southern redbelly dace tend to feed in schools at the bottom of streams , feeding on algae , aquatic invertebrates , and detritus . feeding on the bottom of streams not only allows them access to their prey , but also protects them from being in immediate reach of predators . these fish are countershaded , which means the bottom of the fish is lighter in color than the top side , this helps them avoid predators .

on 4 / 2 / 03 , i cleaned out my 153 gallon pond . there were three live fish . for sure , just one was an adult southern redbelly dace . the other two were red shiners so those must have been the babies from last year . this one large adult was gorgeous . i took photos to develop later . the best one is at the top of this page . i just wish he had a mate !
designation of critical habitat for the cumberland darter , rush darter , yellowcheek darter , chucky madtom , and laurel dace : final rule .
when not actively chasing or spawning , the northern redbelly dace tended to remain away from the water current . they had no interest in the bed of pebbles , nor in the current of water directed at the pebbles . at no time did i see them spawn among the pebbles or over the sand substrate . spawning was repeated at intervals by other dace over the next three days , at which time i removed all the adults .
some of these taxonomies are currently being disputed . some sources place the finescale and laurel daces in the genus phoxinus , where the various redbelly daces once where .
southern redbelly dace are small fish , they are about 5 . 8 cm long , with a small mouth that opens horizontally . their scales are so small they can be difficult to see . these fish are usually an olive green color , which blends into their environment , although they do have red and yellow stripes on their sides and black blotches on their dorsal fins . males of this species are more brightly colored than females , especially on their fins and in their stripes .
the tennessee dace is a slightly different case , spawning at low temperatures ( 60 to 62 f ) and will scatter eggs over nests of other fish like the central stoneroller and striped shiners . thus , breeding these fish as well may be vital to breeding the tennessee dace in captivity .
southern redbelly dace are small fish , approximately 5 . 8 cm in length , with a small mouth that opens horizontally . their scales are so small they are nearly unrecognizable to a casual observer . these fish tend to be an olive green color , which blends into their environment , although they do have red and yellow stripes on their sides and black blotches on their dorsal fins . this species has sexually dimorphic coloration ; males are more vibrantly colored , especially on their fins and in their stripes .
southern redbelly dace are not only prey for larger species in their habitat ; they are also a predatory species , feeding on small invertebrates . these fish are an indicator species , which mean their presence or absence in their habitat helps determine the health of a stream . if the water is healthy , these fish , along with other species , will be thriving . however , if the water is unhealthy , populations of these fish will decline . this can help fishers find the healthiest populations of game fish .
as seasonal spawners , groups of chrosomus minnows will begin breeding once the tank conditions mimic a certain time of year . the southern redbelly dace breeds in the spring , for example , and requires a slightly elevated temperature . being provided with live foods may also help with breeding activity . eggs should be kept separate from adults ( they are notorious egg eaters ! ) and will hatch in about a week at 80 f . the fry are small and require tiny foods like infusoria once the yolks are absorbed .
when southern redbelly dace breed , multiple males press up against a female on the bottom of the stream ; this causes her to release eggs for the males to fertilize . males have pearl organs along their anal and pectoral fins that are used during breeding to stimulate the female to release her eggs . during the april to june mating period , about 200 to 6 , 000 eggs are released as males and females repeat the breeding ritual . this ritual can be repeated many times and only takes a few seconds to complete .
southern redbelly dace live in stream banks or headwater streams . they avoid the faster currents towards the middle of the stream and as a result , the size of the headwater stream is also their territory size . this species moves to new areas when their territory floods , washing some of them out to other areas . schools in this species include individuals of all ages and sizes , as the young and old live in the same area . even though they live in the same area , these fish are not known to display any sort of territorial behavior .
on 3 / 29 / 07 , i cleaned out the 153 gallon pond . i had seen a dark fish swimming in it a few weeks ago , assumed it was the dace , and was surprised . i was saddened this day to find the dace . he was deceased . even in death , he was gorgeous . i had him for 6 . 5 years so he was at least 7 years old ! that assumes the original dace never bred ( of which i am pretty sure ) . i took his photo one last time .
on 9 / 28 / 00 . on 10 / 1 / 00 , one was found desiccated on the edging . i guess he / she wanted to swim upstream ! when the pond was cleaned out on 3 / 26 / 01 , all or most of the redbelly dace were still there ! i have not seen any since ( as of 11 / 13 / 01 ) since they hide so well and are well camouflaged in my two - foot deep pond where the water is dark / black . i cleaned out the pond on 3 / 29 / 02 . there were only seven live fish left ( and two dead ones ) . three were large , adult southern redbelly dace with beautiful yellow fins . these were big fish . i took photos on regular film but it will be a long time before i develop the photos to see if they worked since it is a new roll of film ( i finally got the best photo on here on 5 / 31 / 03 above ! ) . the other four fish were babies from last spring that i had seen when young . then , i thought they were red shiners . considering there were no adult red shiners left , and the babies ' pectoral fins are long and flowing like the adult dace , i am pretty sure that the four young fish are baby southern redbelly dace ! of the five kinds of native fish i put in this pond , i would never have expected these guys to be the only ones to breed and survive ! they are not even native to my area , are supposed to be harder to keep and breed , and i did not add as many of them as the other fish . i guess they like my pond ! now , they have it all to themselves , except for the frogs , tadpoles , snails , and insects .
designation of critical habitat for the cumberland darter , rush darter , yellowcheek darter , chucky madtom , and laurel dace : proposed rule ; reopening of comment period and announcement of public hearing .
southern redbelly dace inhabit any headwater stream ( the source of a stream ) or stream bank , as they avoid the faster currents that occur towards the middle of the stream . as a result , the size of the headwater stream is also their territory size because they do not travel in faster moving water . this species disperses based on seasonal flooding that washes some of them out to other areas . schools in this species include individuals of all ages and sizes , as the young and old inhabit the same area . even though they inhabit the same area , these fish have not been observed displaying any sort of territorial behavior .
in contrast , the spawning behavior of the southern redbelly dace , placed in the same aquarium with all conditions the same , was very different . they actively sought out the current and hovered above the bed of pebbles by swimming constantly into the current . at times they did retreat to quieter regions of the aquarium . several days after being placed in the aquarium , the six males and six females became brilliantly colored . the males had red extending over the entire underside , and the fins were yellow . females also developed the red color , though not quite as extensively as the males , and some white showed just below the lower dark lateral stripe . the fins were not yellow .
the chrosomus minnows are fairly small fish , and mostly uniform in size at that . the majority of species grow to somewhere around 3 inches long , with the finescale dace tipping the scales at about 4 inches .
distribution and habitat : inhabits small , often spring - fed , upland creeks with cool , clear water throughout the eastern two - thirds of the state . it sometimes occurs with the blackside dace in the upper cumberland river drainage ( mostly above cumberland falls ) .
the northern redbelly dace were spawned first , in early may 1992 . twelve adults were placed in the aquarium . there were no other fish in the tank . the fish were left undisturbed except for feeding several times per day . only two of the males showed red color at any time . none of the females colored . after several days together , a change in behavior became apparent . one , two , or even three males drove a single female in a vigorous chase up and down the length of the tank . the procedure seemed to be like that of goldfish at spawning time . most of the chases broke off with no spawning , the active fish would then join the loose school of other fish , usually under the floating valisneria foliage .
identification : a small fish with two parallel black stripes along the side . males in breeding condition are among the most colorful minnows in the state , having solid red along the underside of the body and bright yellow fins . it is similar to the federally protected blackside dace ( chrosomus cumberlandensis ) , but differs by having two lateral stripes ( vs . one broad black stripe ) along the side of the body . adults grow to 3 . 5 in .
range includes the great lakes ( michigan , erie ) and mississippi river basins from new york to southern minnesota , and south to the tennessee river drainage , alabama , and white - arkansas river drainage , arkansas and oklahoma ; isolated populations occur on the former mississippi embayment ( tennessee , mississippi , and arkansas ) , in the kansas river system , kansas , and in the upper arkansas river drainage , colorado and new mexico ( page and burr 2011 ) . this fish is common in upland and spring - fed streams , absent in lowlands ( page and burr 2011 ) .
these fish are not picky eaters and will convert to most any foods you provide . flake and pellet food should be the staple , supplemented with pieces of earthworms , frozen brine and mysis shrimp , chopped shellfish , and perhaps even live mosquito larvae . green foods comprise a significant part of their diet and should not be overlooked . spirulina flake , softened vegetables , and sushi nori can all be provided at regular intervals . the tennessee dace is particular focuses more on green foods than on animal - based foods .
the chrosomus minnows are not particularly picky about water hardness and ph , provided that extremes are avoided . they are found in water sources ranging in hardness from at least 5 - 15 dh and ph 6 . 5 - 7 . 5 . no heater is necessary for these species , and seemingly do well with water temperature around 60 - 65 f . seasonal highs of the mid 70′s f are well tolerated by , and are necessary if you wish to breed these fish ( except for the tennessee dace ) . just remember with higher temperatures comes higher metabolism and activity levels !

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : listed as least concern in view of the large extent of occurrence , large number of subpopulations , large population size , apparently stable trend , and lack of major threats .
this species is represented by a large number of occurrences ( subpopulations ) . total adult population size is unknown but very large . this species is common in much of its range . trend over the past 10 years or three generations is uncertain but likely relatively stable .
habitat includes headwaters and upland creeks ( often spring - fed ) , generally with clear water ( lee et al . 1980 , page and burr 2011 ) . in illinois , schools often occur under bank overhangs among tree roots in clear pools with muck bottom ( smith 1979 ) . this species often occurs over gravel , rubble , or sand in wisconsin ( becker 1983 ) . spawning occurs in shallow water near riffles among gravel , sometimes in nests of other species ( e . g . , semotilus atromaculatus ) .
currently , this species is of relatively low conservation concern and does not require significant additional protection or major management , monitoring , or research action .

slender minnow with two dusky stripes separated by a broad golden or yellowish stripe along the side . olive - brown back with scattered dark spots , and a white belly . scales are very small , barely visible to the naked eye . breeding males are brilliant red on undersurface of head and body with lower fin and undersurface near tail lemon yellow .
total length : 1 1 / 2 to 2 3 / 4 inches ; maximum length 3 inches .
small creeks and spring branches of the ozarks where there is permanent flow of cool , clear water and a gravelly or sandy bottom . often school with other minnows such as stonerollers and creek chubs .
herbivorous , feeding primarily on algae and detritus with larval insects in lesser quantities .
one of the characteristic fishes of the ozarks . also occurs in northeastern missouri , where its range extends northward into the prairie region in hills bordering the upper mississippi river .
missouri has more than 200 kinds of fish , more than are found in most neighboring states . fishes live in water , breathe with gills , and have fins instead of legs . most are covered with scales . most fish in missouri “look” like fish and could never be confused with anything else . true , lampreys and eels have snakelike bodies — but they also have fins and smooth , slimy skin , which snakes do not .
we protect and manage the fish , forest , and wildlife of the state . we facilitate and provide opportunity for all citizens to use , enjoy , and learn about these resources .
within 8 to 10 days of being fertilized , the eggs hatch in water that is 20 . 6 to 26 . 7° c ( 69 to 80° f ) and begin growing very quickly before becoming an adult in about one year . the fish begin feeding on newly hatched
, and within two months , grow to a little over one inch in size .
since one female mates with several males , the young from her eggs will have many different fathers . after breeding , the eggs are left in the nest with no parental care . larger fish species found in their habitat , such as

within 8 to 10 days of being fertilized , the embryos hatch in water that is 20 . 6 to 26 . 7° c ( 69 to 80° f ) and begin a rapid period of growth into adulthood , which lasts about a year . the fish begin feeding on newly hatched
breeding takes place when multiple males press up against the female on the bottom of the stream to stimulate the release of eggs for the males to fertilize . males have pearl organs , also known as breeding tubercles , along their anal and pectoral fins that are used during breeding to stimulate the female to release her eggs . during the april to june mating period , approximately 200 to 6 , 000 eggs are expelled as males and females repeat the breeding ritual . this ritual can be repeated several times and only takes a few seconds to complete .
polyandrous breeding results in mixed paternity , leading to increased variation in the young . after breeding takes place , the eggs are left in the nest with no parental care . larger fish species in their habitat , such as

the south dakota game , fish and parks values and appreciates the partnerships we have with landowners across the state . they help sustain our wildlife and promulgate our hunting heritage . south dakota is 80 percent privately owned and landowners play a significant role in providing wildlife habitat and outdoor opportunities like hunting and fishing .
the department offers a variety of programs available for private landowners to help create wildlife habitat , public hunting access and reduce wildlife damage .
for more information about landowner programs , check out habitat pays . habitat pays has been a joint effort with the department of agriculture since 2015 ; connecting farmers and ranchers to the appropriate habitat resources and helping them implement wildlife habitat where it makes the most sense .
gfp offers cost share to private landowners interested in developing wildlife habitat on their land through multiple habitat programs . contact one of our private land habitat biologists to learn more about any of our private land wildlife habitat programs or to evaluate your land and help you develop the best habitat to help you meet your land management goals .
free food plot seed is available from gfp each spring ( corn , sorghum , brood mix ) .
annual payment of $ 20 per acre for food plot acres ( $ 40 per acre if planted on walk - in areas ) .
woody habitat plantings are designed to provide ground level cover during winter conditions for resident wildlife .
plantings must be at least 8 rows wide and a minimum of 1 acre in size .
gfp will cost - share 75 % of total project costs , up to $ 10 , 000 per planting .
in addition to technical assistance , the wetland & grassland habitat program offers a variety of cost - share options for private landowners to implement conservation practices that benefit wildlife while meeting the needs of working grasslands .
landowners are reimbursed for 100 % of the costs incurred for seed and planting ( up to $ 125 / acre ) .
programs protect new or existing habitat from livestock , assist with setting up rotational grazing paddocks , replace woven wire fences with wildlife - friendly fences , etc . .
for more information about other habitat programs available through our partners visit the habitat resources page of the habitat pays website .
gfp leases public hunting access on private land across the state to maintain south dakota’s rich hunting heritage through the following programs . contact our staff in your part of the state to learn more about any of these programs .
the wia program leases private land with valuable hunting opportunity for unlimited public hunting access ( foot - traffic only ) in exchange for an annual payment and immunity from non - negligent liability . the walk - in area program began in 1988 leasing public hunting access from 26 landowners on 23 , 161 acres , and has grown to partnering with 1 , 458 landowners , in 2017 , who provide public hunting access to 1 , 239 , 580 acres of private land . cumulatively over the last thirty years the walk - in area program has paid landowners over $ 3 5 million to provide public hunting access opportunities to over 23 . 2 million acres . a legislative commemoration was issued commending the south dakota game , fish and parks and the landowners of south dakota on 30 years of partnership to provide public hunting access through the walk - in area program . more information .
similar to a walk - in area , but a coop allows hunters to drive on harvested cropland for the purposes of placing & retrieving waterfowl decoys . hunters with a disabled hunting permit are also allowed to drive on these areas to hunt any game . all other access is limited to foot traffic only an no hunting is allowed while farm machinery is present .
chap is a cooperative effort between private landowners and game , fish and parks to provide limited public hunting access on private land landowners who enroll in chap control the amount of hunter use at a given time , set special provisions for use , and place restrictions on big game species allowed to be harvested . for more information or assistance , visit the habitat pays website .
administered by the usda ' s farm service agency , crep is a
state - sponsored
conservation reserve program designed for a specific geographic area that will address resource concerns identified by state partners . in south dakota , the focus is on creating additional pheasant nesting habitat that is open to public hunting .
ehap ' s purpose is to increase hunter harvest ; specifically on private lands with higher than landowner - tolerable elk use . private land anywhere in the black hills elk hunting units will be considered . access to the property ( how many , when , and where ) is controlled by the enrolled landowner . this allows the hunting to take place where the best chance of success is , as well as with the best chance to diminish elk depredation . gfp does not sign the boundaries ( as with walk - in areas ) , nor are maps of the enrolled properties made available . gfp provides the contact information for participating landowners upon request . license holders are responsible for making contact with the landowner , and making arrangements to hunt the enrolled property .
as a vast majority of south dakota is privately owned ; farmers , ranchers and other private landowners are the principal stewards of wildlife resources and the habitats in which they depend .
the landowners matter newsletter is printed and distributed twice a year ; april 1 and october 1 and is mailed to approximately 14 , 000 south dakota landowners .
gfp employs 27 full - time wildlife damage specialists ( wds ) within its comprehensive wildlife damage management program . these staff work directly with landowners and producers to reduce or alleviate wildlife damage such as : livestock losses , damage to stored - feed supplies and hay , damage to growing crops , as well as damage to personal property . these staff are trained to work with all types of wildlife damage , from coyotes to elk . they also conduct educational programs on sport trapping as a form of recreation and its importance in the management of furbearers . programs can be given in classrooms , meeting halls , summer camps or other group meeting locations .
for more information on the below programs please contact your local wildlife damage specialist .
gfp will provide direct control of prairie dogs that have encroached onto private property from adjacent public lands . to be eligible , landowners must have a minimum of 10 acres of actual prairie colony and must be within one mile of the public land boundary . tribal property or municipality properties are not public lands . if you have questions about prairie dog control from gfp , please call 605 . 773 . 5913 . register for the prairie control program .
gfp will provide direct control of beavers for landowners or livestock producers that are experiencing damage caused by beavers . however , for problems with beaver damage inside city limits , people are encouraged to contact their local city officials for these types of requests . gfp only provides technical advice in these situations . for damage caused from raccoon , skunks , mink , and other nuisance wildlife species , gfp can provide technical assistance and loan live - traps for people outside of city limits . every situation is unique , and gfp staff working cooperatively with the affected landowner will determine the most effective approach . contact your local wildlife damage specialist for assistance .
gfp has several programs and services available to assist landowners and producers that experience damage to growing - crops from canada geese . the most popular service is the installation of temporary electric fence which serves as an effective barrier to flightless geese during the summer months , which gfp will install around growing soybeans . gfp also offers up to $ 5 , 000 worth of cost - share assistance to plant protective buffer - strips around growing - crops , which protect the larger field from canada goose damage . these buffer - strips may be wheat , alfalfa , or native grasses which create a visual barrier so the geese are discouraged from entering the cropfield . gfp may also provide up to $ 5 , 000 of cost - share assistance to construct woven wire fence along the edge of wetlands which prohibit access to the cropfields when the birds are flightless . gfp provides direct assistance when canada geese are causing damage to growing crops or causing other issues on private lands ; utilizing tools such as hazing , temporary fencing , alternate feeding sites or egg addling . gfp may also authorize the affected landowner a permit which allows the landowner to lethally remove a small number of canada geese that are causing crop damage . these permits serve as an effective form of hazing and can haze the remaining birds away from the immediate area . every situation is unique and gfp staff , working cooperatively with the affected landowner , will determine the most effective approach .
gfp has several programs and services available to assist landowners and producers with deer damage . gfp offers up to $ 5 , 000 worth of cost - share assistance to construct permanent protective stackyards or can provide protective , portable panels that protect stored livestock - feeds ( i . e . hay , corn , silage , etc . ) from deer damage during the winter months . these two programs are very popular and provide long - term solutions . gfp also provides direct assistance when deer are causing damage to growing crops , shelter - belts and other issues on private lands by utilizing hazing , temporary fencing , short - stop baiting , and in some situations , lethal control and / or depredation hunts . every situation is unique and gfp staff , working cooperatively with the affected landowner will determine the most effective approach .
