Many hungry deer in western South Dakota have been aggravating farmers by grazing on irrigated land along the Belle Fourche River in parched Butte County.
Wildlife officials authorized special hunts to reduce the number of animals and have also tried to alleviate the situation by positioning feed for the deer between their bedding area and farmers’ hay.
