The number of deer hunting licenses available in South Dakota for the upcoming season could be significantly reduced.
A mountain lion that was found in a tree at a Spearfish home was tranquilized and later released a few miles away in a rural area.
An early fall storm that devastated cattle and sheep herds in western South Dakota spared most wildlife but did take a toll on pheasants.
