This week on America Outdoors Radio we'll take you to South Dakota for a fantastic late season hunt organized by Pheasants Forever. Casey Weismantel, the Executive Director of the Aberdeen Convention and Visitors Bureau, will orient you to the region and the great hunting you'll find here. Then, Jared Wiklund with Pheasants Forever will share a day of do-it-yourself hunting on the plethora of publicly accessible lands found here that are full of wiley roosters. After that we'll head to Johannsen Farms where Eric Johannsen and his family not only operate a farm and cattle ranch, but also offer guided hunting for wild pheasants and what a hunt it is! Finally, Matt Morlock with Pheasants Forever in South Dakota talks about farming and ranching practices that are pheasant and habitat friendly. Practices that will work and pay big dividends for wildlife in other states as well.

This fall several environmental groups filed a notice of intent to sue the State of Idaho about how they are managing their steelhead fisheries without a fully approved and signed Federal permit to do so, despite an unofficial agreement that has been in place for 10 years. In response to the pending lawsuit, Idaho Fish and Game announced they would end steelhead fishing on December 7th until a permit could be secured. The impact on anglers and many communities that cater to them throughout the state is significant. Now, one group, Idaho Rivers United, has announced they will withdraw from the proposed lawsuit and they are calling for Idaho to keep steelhead fishing open.
Today, we interview Roger Phillips, Public Information Supervisor with Idaho Fish and Game as well as Kevin Lewis, the Executive Director of Idaho Rivers United, about this and in an attempt to determine if a shutdown can be averted and a steelhead fishing season (along with the steelhead themselves) saved.
