N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Hunting season all kicked off with the early Canada Goose Season, which has done very well according to the North Dakota Game & Fish Department.

State Game & Fish Biologist Doug Leier says while many residents should still be using this time to get fishing in, hunting season is still one of the bigger highlights.

Leier says that the fall turkey season has also been set and the deadline to apply is September 6th.

Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply in the first lottery. Nonresidents can apply for fall turkey licenses that are still available following the first lottery.

As per state law, a resident who does not want to receive a fall turkey hunting license but would like to accrue a bonus point can purchase a point on the application for the same fee as the turkey license. The bonus point fee is allocated to the department’s Private Land Open to Sportsmen Program.

To sign up for the lottery or any other liscense, visit gf.nd.gov.
