South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks proposes new carcass transport rules to prevent CWD spread

A pair of South Dakota conservation officers inspect Pierre resident Jeff Carr’s boat July 14 as part of a temporary law enforcement check station near Oahe Dam a few miles north of Pierre. Carr had been fishing on Lake Oahe and officers checked to make sure the boat’s drain plug was out, which is required under the state’s aquatic invasive species rules. Regional Conservation Officer Supervisor Steve Rossow said enforcement of the rules has taken on new urgency as Lake Sharpe was confirmed to be infested with invasive zebra mussels on July 12.
