North Dakota huntersare reminded to be cautiousof farm, ranch andother traffic when travelingon rural roads.“As fall activities like harvesting crops,moving cattle and hauling bales getsstarted, there’s more heavy machinerymoving around,” said Jeb Williams, Gameand Fish Department assistant wildlifedivision chief. “Hunters driving around oncountry roads should just be aware to slowdown when meeting another vehicle, andpull well to the right when topping a hillwhere you can’t see what’s coming fromthe other direction.”To maintain positive landowner/hunterrelations, hunters are asked to moveto the side of the road and allow widefarm vehicles to pass, park vehicles in aplace that will not block a roadway, fieldapproach or gate, pick up trash and emptyshells, and not clean game in the roadditch or approach.CRAIG BIHRLENORTH DAKOTA GAME AND FISH ONLINEPURCHASEand PrintLicensesand Apply forLottery LicensesVIEWNorth DakotaOUTDOORSMagazinesEXPLORENorthDakotaPLOTSGuidevisit http://gf.nd.govWATCHOutdoors OnlineWeekly Webcastsand TV FeaturesMORE FEATURES Current wildlife and fishing news GIS map creation Review important season dates and regulations Register for hunter education classesNORTH DAKOTA GAME AND FISH DEPARTMENT100 North Bismarck ExpresswayBismarck, ND 58501-5095701.328.6300Email: ndgf@nd.govAugust-September 2012 ND Outdoors 31
