N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – With the arrival of August, hunters inch closer to the fall and winter hunting seasons.

North Daktoa’s early Canada Goose season has been set with bag limits and licensing requirements remaining the same. The only change is the west boundary of the Missouri River Canada Goose zone north of ND Highway 200, which is now extended to ND Highway 8.

Game and Fish Outreach Biologist Doug Leier reports that the season continues through September 15th for most of the state. The early Canada goose season has a limit of 15 daily and 45 in possession.

2017 deer lottery results were also posted recently. More than 2,800 antlerless deer gun licenses remain.

The first lottery application process (deer gun, muzzleloader, youth and landowner) had more than 107,000 applicants and just under 53,000 were unsuccessful.

You can catch Doug Leier every Thursday at 7:20 AM with JD in the Morning on Big Dog Country 95.5 FM.
