Game and Fish Outreach Biologist Doug Leier joins “JD in the Morning” Thursdays at 7:20 on Big Dog 95.5.

This week Doug and JD talked about the opener of the grouse and partridge seasons in North Dakota.

North Dakota hunters should expect similar to higher numbers of sharp-tailed grouse, Hungarian partridge and ruffed grouse this hunting season compared to 2014, according to Stan Kohn, upland game management supervisor for the State Game and Fish Department.

Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. Sharptails, ruffed grouse and Huns each have a daily limit of three and a possession limit of 12. The season opens Sept. 12.

Hunters, regardless of age, must have a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate and general game and habitat license. In addition, hunters age 16 and older need a small game license.
