Available gun licenses reduced for North Dakota deer hunters during 2025 season

1 week ago | outdoornews.com | Doug Leier

Before applying for a 2025 North Dakota deer license, with an application deadline of June 4, hunters should review the 2024 numbers. First, hunters are reminded these are numbers, statistics. What you can’t read in deer “success” are hunters who chose not to squeeze the trigger waiting for a bigger buck or doe. Or archery hunters who on the last day decided to pass on a doe in hopes it may help replenish the herd.

I’ve long appreciated the fact that in North Dakota we can talk about deer and deer hunting any time of year. While fall discussions typically revolve around the deer numbers and the coming hunt, this time of year there’s plenty to discuss about the state’s deer lottery. Of note, there’s no real preference to the points given to each applicant. A point is a point is a point. Whether it’s one or 125. The point is your number in the lottery.

Leave baby animals alone and watch for deer, Game and Fish Department says

2 weeks ago | grandforksherald.com | Doug Leier

BISMARCK – As it does every year about this time, the North Dakota Game and Fish Department offers a simple message to well-intentioned people who want to rescue what appear to be orphaned baby animals: Don’t touch them. Whether it is a fawn, duckling, baby cottontail rabbit or a songbird, it is better to leave them alone. Often, young animals are not abandoned or deserted, and the mother is probably nearby. Young wildlife are purposely secluded by adults to protect them from predators.
