Deer archery season opens Sept. 1

By North Dakota Game and Fish Department

North Dakota’s deer archery season opens Sept. 1 at noon, and bowhunters are reminded that deer bow licenses and accompanying tags are only available through electronic purchase.

The archery season is open through January 7, 2018.

Bowhunters can buy a license online at the state Game and Fish Department website.

Licenses can also be purchased by calling (800)406-6409 or from vendors linked to the Department’s online licensing system.  Find a list of licensing retailers here.

Hunters who purchase bow licenses at an online vendor will receive a tag at time of purchase. It will take several days for hunters to receive their tag in the mail if the license was purchased by phone or personal computer.

Bowhunters must follow all regulations of the managing agency when using tree stands on public hunting areas, including displaying the owner’s name, address and telephone number on tree stands left unattended on Game and Fish wildlife management areas.

In addition, hunting big game over bait is prohibited on both public and private land in deer unit 3C west of the Missouri River, and all of units 3E1, 3E2, 3F1 and 3F2.

Hunters should refer to the 2017 deer hunting guide for season information and regulations.
