Human trafficking is evil, it happens in South Dakota and even in our community. This is why the South Central Human Trafficking Coalition was formed and has erected this sign.

Victims are brought in by vans for out-of-state hunters in certain lodges, especially West River. I-29 and I-90 are two major routes for drug and human trafficking.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit, and there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord, and there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom, to another the word of knowledge, by the same Spirit,to another faith by the same Spirit to another the gift of healing,by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse kinds of tongues; (languages)to another the interpretation of tongues:: but all these worketh that one and the selfsame spirit,dividing to every man severally as He will. For the body is one, and hath many members of that one body, being many, are one body: So also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we are Jews or Gentiles; whether we be bond or free; and have been made to drink into one spirit. For the body is not one member, but many."(KJV)

Over the years I have generally been supportive of our Game, Fish, & Parks Department. However, the recent changes in our coming pheasant season by SDGF&P have me scratching my head.

Now we are going to begin our hunting earlier in the day. The season has been lengthened, and both the daily limit and the possession limits have been increased. How are these changes going to increase our pheasant population?
