South Dakota currently allows hunters using night-vision equipment to take certain predators and varmints only with shotguns or rifles using bullets smaller than .225 inches in diameter. This bill increases the allowable bullet diameter to .312 inches, permitting the use of larger-caliber firearms for nighttime hunting of coyotes, raccoons, foxes, and similar animals on both public and private land.
