[cobirds] DeWeese SWA Info

A recent trip to DeWeese Reservoir, (Custer county) and new signage erected on all approaches to the lake had me wondering about birding trips in 2018. 

I reached out to Jena Sanchez, a volunteer coordinator for the CPW Southeast area about this signage and what it would mean for birders. I am a frequent visitor accompanying my husband who has a fishing license. Her email reply is below,  and worth saving if you plan to visit DeWeese SWA.

All the best,

Kathy, having learned what we did about the DeWeese permit, I didn't think that each person would need the permit so I checked back with the Wildlife Officer Justin Krall who covers DeWeese, and here is what he said about you guys needing the DeWeese special permit:  

I would say they are good to go up here.  Technically anyone ages
18-64 needs to have either a fishing/hunting license or a SWA access
permit for Deweese, but since they are birding I don't have an issue.

So you guys are good to go, at least for DeWeese and you can tell anyone that you've talked to me and Justin.  Thanks for covering your bases.  -Jena
