Turkey season hunting unit reorganization

What this changes

The Game, Fish and Parks Commission reorganized and streamlined its hunting rules for wild turkeys in South Dakota. The changes clean up how hunting units are described for spring and fall turkey seasons—consolidating detailed lists into cross-references to spring season units for fall hunting, and adding a new spring turkey unit (Codington County). The rules also reorganize the definitions section to clarify terms like "wild turkey," "male turkey," and "agricultural purposes," and remove references to federal lands no longer included in certain Black Hills hunting areas. Hunters will see no change in where they can hunt or what equipment they can use; the rewording simply makes the regulations easier to navigate.
