Letter from U.S. Senator Thune of South Dakota

Thune Celebrates Pheasant Hunting

Senator Thune joined his brother Tim and father Harold near Draper for opening weekend of pheasant hunting.

As the pheasant hunting season kicked off in South Dakota, Senator Thune took time to spend opening day hunting with his brother and father near their hometown of Murdo. Pheasant hunting is a time-honored South Dakota tradition that calls together friends and family throughout the state to enjoy a pastime carried on from generation to generation.   

 

Recognizing the importance of hunting to South Dakotans and the state’s economy, Senator Thune is a proud cosponsor of the Sportsmen’s Act (S. 1335). The Sportsmen’s Act contains provisions to make federal land more accessible to recreational hunters and fishermen and includes legislation Thune introduced which prohibits expensive federal regulations regarding the use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle. The Sportsmen’s Act also clarifies current law to specifically allow hunting bows to be transported across National Park Service land.  

 

As South Dakotans gather at favorite pheasant hunting locations, take the newest family hunter out for the first day in the fields, or gather over a warm evening meal to tell stories of the “shot of the day,” hunters and their families continue these treasured South Dakota traditions and instill an appreciation for nature and the outdoors in the next generation of hunters. Senator Thune wishes all hunters across South Dakota a safe and successful hunting season.

Ice Fishin' Northern Pike-Love 'Em or (S)Not

Fishing for Walleye and Perch? Whether you love 'em or are annoyed by them, Northern Pike are part of ice fishing. Yes, they are slimy, snotty line takers but we're here to share some ideas to make them a little more palatable.

Northern is delicious eating if you can serve it boneless. It takes some extra time, but well worth the effort especially with the larger fish. Cook it using your favorite recipe and you just may agree, it can be as good as eating fresh Walleye.

If you are a fan of Pickled Herring, you will love Pickled Pike. For this recipe, don't worry about the bones. You can even use the smaller 'snake' Northerns, as the bones 'dissolve' during the process.

Pickled Pike
Use glass, not metal ware.
5 C. water
1 C. salt
Clean fish. Cut into bite-sized chunks. Put pike into a jar of water & salt and refrigerate for 48 hours. Tip over or shake jar a couple of times. Drain, clean and rinse the jar and the fish.
Place fish back into jar. Pour clear vinegar over fish and re-refrigerate for another 48 hours. Again tip or shake the jar after every 8 hours or so.
Drain and throw away this vinegar. Rinse out the jar.
Thinly slice an onion.
Make a brine of the following ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Cool.
2 C. vinegar
4 whole bay leaves
2 tsp. mustard seed
1 tsp. whole allspice
1 tsp. whole pepper
1 tsp. whole cloves
1-1/2 C. sugar
½ C. white Port Wine
Alternate fish and onion, pack in jar. Pour brine over each layer, saving some for over the top.
Can be eaten within a few days. All bones should have dissolved. To fill a gallon jar, I use 1.5x all the ingredients listed.

Enjoy the great ice fishing season.

2 Steak+Shrimp Dinners for $29.95, New Year's Eve

Happy New Year from LAKEVIEW

BYOB of Wine or Champagne, New Year's Eve with No Corkage Fee

Bring Your Own Bottle of Wine or Champagne to enjoy with your meal. There will be dinner specials to include various steaks and shrimp, beginning at 5:30 pm.

On New Year's Eve, LAKEVIEW is waiving the corkage fee* (Read the article below for more information about your wine).

If you have questions, please contact South Dakota Retailers Association at 800.658.5545.
Starting July 1 South Dakota restaurants can use the new ?corkage? law
3/16/2012 "A new law which allow South Dakota restaurants to better serve their customers goes into effect July 1 (Senate Bill 62).

At the urging of restaurant owners and SDRA, the 2012 South Dakota Legislature approved a law which says restaurants can let customers bring their own bottles of wine into the restaurant. The restaurant...charge[s] the customer a *corkage fee to open and serve the wine. The new law will also allow customers to take unfinished bottles of wine home with them.

This proposal is permissive, meaning that it permits - but doesn't require - restaurants to allow patrons to bring in wine, and to re-cork wine for customers to take with them.

This puts into law what had already been a common practice. Many restaurants had already been offering this service, unaware that it was illegal to do so in South Dakota.

To use the corkage law, restaurants must meet certain criteria, and follow specific steps:
• the restaurant must be licensed to sell wine on-sale
• the restaurant can permit a customer to bring a sealed and unopened bottle of wine onto the licensed premises
• the wine must be served with a meal prepared in the restaurant and served at a table in the restaurant
• the restaurant can charge a corkage fee for serving the wine that has been supplied by the customer. The amount of the fee is set by the restaurant; the law doesn’t set any minimum or maximum.
• if a customer wants to take out any remaining wine, the restaurant (not the customer) must re-cork the wine, either with the original cork or another cap.
• the restaurant must place the unfinished bottle in a sealed bag or other container.
• the restaurant must attach a receipt to the bag or container. The receipt must include both the meal and the corkage fee.
• similar guidelines apply when a customer purchases a bottle of wine from the restaurant and doesn’t finish it. The customer may be permitted to take the remainder of the bottle with them as long as the restaurant securely reseals the bottle with a cork or similar cap, places the bottle in a sealed bag or container, and attaches to the bag a receipt for the meal and the wine.
