In this Oct. 7, 2012 file photo, a teenager walks along hunting land at sunset during South Dakota's preseason pheasant youth hunt weekend near Tyndall, S.D. When pheasant hunters take to the fields of South Dakota this weekend to renew a treasured rite of autumn, they'll have less land to do it on thanks to the federal government shutdown. Some 150,000 acres in the national wildlife refuge system will be off-limits for the state's annual public lands hunt. It's a scenario being played out across the country, affecting millions of acres that are ordinarily available to hunters seeking antelope in Colorado, ducks in Montana or bears in Alaska.
