Comments must include full name and address. Seven additional counties have been opened and two separate units have been created for the 2000 early fall Canada goose season. Game Management Specialist Ron Fowler said the counties of Roberts, Beadle, Sanborn, Hanson, Turner, Lincoln and the remainder of Miner have been opened for the 2000 early fall Canada goose season. The northern unit has also been opened for nonresident hunters. Each unit has a daily and possession limit of five and 10 birds respectively.
Hunters can shoot from one-half hour before sunrise to sunset.
Law Enforcement Specialist Dave McCrea said the current rule regarding the use of radios while hunting was written at a time when the most common form of communication between motor vehicle occupants was exclusively a citizen's band or hand-held radio. Advances in technology have now rendered these forms virtually obsolete through the development of cellular telephones. McCrea added that the use of cellular phones by hunters has been well documented, and since they have replaced radios, cellular phones were added to the list of prohibited communication devices.
