Variety best describes hunting in North Dakota. Whatever species you are interested in hunting, you will have to search long and hard to find more opportunity. Waterfowl (Geese, Ducks, Coots, Mergansers, Swan) - During the fall migrations thousands of potholes and sloughs attract migrating ducks in countless numbers, bolstering an already huge population of birds hatched and raised in the state. ( Incidentally, we lead the nation in duck production.) A sizeable population of resident giant Canada geese is soon augmented by hundreds of thousands of migrating geese that stop over on their journey southward. Small/Upland Game (Grouse, Dove, Crane, Pheasant, Snipe, Woodcock, Squirrel, Hungarian Partridge) - Early fall seasons for mourning dove and sharp-tailed grouse allow a hunter to enjoy chilly mornings and warm afternoons on the prairie. Come October our sandhill crane and ring-necked pheasant seasons generate a lot of attention. Big Game (Deer, Pronghorn, Moose, Elk, Bighorn Sheep) - Our deer and pronghorn archery seasons begin in early fall. Later, the gun seasons for pronghorn, moose, elk, and bighorn sheep bring out hunters lucky enough to have drawn one of these special permits. Deer gun season the most popular among residents begins in early November. | |
