A licensed private shooting preserve permittee may obtain a transportation permit for processing purposes from the department. The permit allows the transportation of birds legally harvested on the shooting preserve to another location for processing. The kill tags must be attached to the birds. The permit must include the preserve name; the hunter's name; the hunter's driver's license number, state issued identification number, or youth hunter safety number; the species and number of birds transported; and the date of processing.

In lieu of the transportation permit, a permittee or employee may transport permitted species harvested on a shooting preserve to another location for processing, if the carrier of the birds has a duplicate copy of the guest register required by SDCL 41-10-17. The permittee may use computer formats that list hunter and harvest information for the birds being transported for processing with prior department approval.

The carrier of the permit or guest register must be an employee of the preserve and must possess the processing permit or a copy of the guest register while in possession of the birds enroute to or from the processor.
