Aberdeen Pheasant Coalition

The Aberdeen Pheasant Coalition is unique in concept and collaboration.

It is spearheaded by the Northern South Dakota Pheasants Forever Chapter #77 and consists of local businesses, conservation organizations, and sportsmen groups coming together to provide funding for a sign-up incentive for farmers and landowners enrolling land into the USDA Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to provide quality nesting and brood-rearing habitat while at the same time enrolling these same acres into the South Dakota Game, Fish, and Parks public access hunting program (Walk-In Program). This program will provide a major boost to our local economy while also supporting a stable and growing pheasant population, which is crucial to our local economy. All of our members have a strong link to our Aberdeen pheasant heritage, though not all are headquartered in Aberdeen. All funds raised for this sign-up incentive will be spent in Brown County, South Dakota only. Additional funds raised to promote this program will cover promotion without touching the dollars raised for the sign-up incentive.
