It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for a nonresident to hunt, take, or kill migratory waterfowl

early fall Canada goose temporary nonresident license,
or a spring
five-day
snow goose
temporary nonresident

license, a migratory bird certification permit, and a federal
migratory bird stamp, or in violation of the conditions of the licenses or the rules of the Game, Fish
and Parks Commission.
A special nonresident waterfowl license, except as otherwise provided in this title, entitles the
licensee to hunt migratory waterfowl for ten consecutive days. Four dollars received from the sale
of each special nonresident waterfowl license shall be placed in the land acquisition and
development fund. The moneys from this fund shall be used to acquire by purchase or lease real
property to be used primarily for game production. This license shall be in such form as the Game,
Fish and Parks Commission shall prescribe.
The provision in this section limiting the validity of a special nonresident waterfowl license
to ten consecutive days does not apply in Union, Clay, Bon Homme, Yankton, and Charles Mix
counties; and in such counties, the special nonresident waterfowl license is valid during the same
period as is a resident waterfowl license.
The Game, Fish and Parks Commission may issue no more than four thousand nonresident
waterfowl licenses in a calendar year.

five-day
snow goose temporary nonresident
waterfowl
licenses to
be determined by the department, and to establish the fee therefor, validity of the licenses issued,
types of waterfowl to be hunted, and areas in which hunting is permitted. The fall three-day
temporary nonresident waterfowl licenses are valid only on private property, but are not valid on
private property leased by the department for public hunting or on highways or other public
rights-of-way within this state that otherwise meet the requirements of
§
41-9-1.3. Revenue from the
sale of fall three-day temporary nonresident waterfowl licenses shall be deposited in the department's
land acquisition and development fund to be used to acquire, by lease, permit, or otherwise, interests
in real property to be used for providing waterfowl hunting public access in the counties adjacent to
the Missouri River.
Revenue from the sale of early fall Canada goose temporary nonresident licenses
shall be deposited in the department's land acquisition and development fund to be used to acquire
by lease, permit, or otherwise, interests in real property to be used for providing waterfowl hunting
public access.
Before promulgating rules which permit the issuance of fall three-day temporary
nonresident waterfowl licenses, the commission shall determine that adequate waterfowl hunting
public access has been provided through the department's land acquisition and development fund or
through other means.
