JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – The Game & Fish Department reports there is still opportunity for those who missed out on the deer gun lottery to get a license this year.

Game & Fish Wildlife Biologist Doug Leier says some units still have opportunities remaining. This is includes units nearby Stutsman County and others in the state.

Leier says your best opportunity will be applying for a license in a unit with lots of tags left.

You can apply online today at gf.nd.gov before the July 14th deadline.

In other outdoor news, Leier says there has been zebra mussel discovered in the popular Twin Lakes in LaMoure County.

To help alleviate the spread of aquatic nuisance species (ANS) you’re asked to:

– Avoid mooring watercraft in zebra mussel infested waters.
– Clean – remove plants, animals and excessive mud prior to leaving a water access.
– Drain – drain all water prior to leaving a water access.
– Dry – allow equipment to dry completely before using again or disinfect. This includes boat docks and boat lifts brought from other waters/states. A 7-day dry time is recommended after recreating on a zebra mussel infested water at typical summer temperatures.

For more information about ANS in North Dakota, options for disinfection, or to report a possible ANS, visit https://gf.nd.gov/ans.
