Road-hunting debated as bill to expand safety zone fails in South Dakota

A bill that sought to expand South Dakota’s hunting safety zone from 660 feet to 1,000 feet failed in the state Senate on a 29-5 vote this year in Pierre. That’s despite the bill passing the House 51-19 before the distance was amended down from 1,320 feet.
“I think this is one of the first shots toward getting rid of road hunting,” said state Sen. Larry Zikmund, a Sioux Falls Republican.
The bill aimed to increase the buffer distance where hunting and trapping are restricted.
