BISMARCK, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Residents who may have missed out on the spring wild turkey tag lottery will still have a chance to get their tag.

The North Dakota Game & Fish Department reports that not all tags were applied for in the spring wild turkey lottery. Currently, more than 500 hunting licenses are available. Here’s Game & Fish Wildlife Biologist Doug Leier.

The state Game and Fish Department offered 5,655 licenses for the spring hunt and 554 remained after the license lottery. Leier says applications must be submitted online.

The spring season opens April 14 and runs through May 20.

As far as snow geese migration is concerned, Leier says the weather has taken a toll on their arrival.
