One of the problems hunters face here is the many options in fall. Making a choice is tough. Hunters can decoy ducks or geese in the morning, chase pheasants in the afternoon and be back in their decoy spread again for the evening flight. Or they can bowhunt for pronghorn and mule deer in the drop-dead gorgeous Badlands.
North Dakota is known as the duck factory in the lower 48 states, boasting some of the best duck hunting in the country for birds raised within its borders – and some of the best hunting for birds making southern migrations from nesting grounds in Canada. Upland hunters come from around the country for a shot at ring-necked pheasants, sharp-tailed grouse and Hungarian partridge.
Big-game hunts are available, too. Record numbers of deer licenses have been issued in recent years.
More often than not, hunters go home not only with game, but wonderful stories to share for years to come.
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is your resource for resident and non-resident licenses and fees.
