A few changes to discuss for the upcoming season at the Snake Den. First we'll discuss shipping of firearms. The information on the website will be updated soon, but until then here is the procedure to follow.
The Snake Den does have a Federal Firearms License now, so we can receive firearms from hunters prior to them arriving. Firearms can be shipped via FedEx. The box/case should be addressed as such:
"Firearm Owner"
c/o Snake Den Lodge
110 E. Medicine Creek Dr.
Presho, SD 57568
The FedEx carrier must be informed that you are shipping a firearm, but the box should not be labeled as such. The gun must be unloaded and shells can not be shipped. When you are done hunting you will ship the firearm back to yourself.
Another change we will be looking at is how we clean and ship/transport birds. The State has changed the rules regarding what must be left on a bird for identification. As a wildlife processing facility we are able to remove all plumage, legs, head, and wings for storage and transportation. Hunters may take home just the breast and legs if they desire. The Snake Den is recommending that if hunters wish to have their birds cleaned this way that they should bring with them a collapsible cooler which would easily hold nine to 15 birds and be allowed as a carry-on bag for air travel. This will be something new for everyone, so it may take some time to get the kinks out, but it should make it easier to get the birds home and in the frying pan. We're looking forward to seeing everyone for another great pheasant season.
