ND Unfilled Doe Licenses
No Longer Valid
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds
deer hunters who did not fill an antlerless lottery license
during the deer gun season, that these licenses are not valid
during the upcoming muzzleloader season, or the remainder
of the archery season.
For several years prior to 2012, hunters with unfilled
concurrent season antlerless licenses could continue hunting
during the muzzleloader season, using a muzzleloader.
Similarly, hunters could also use a bow during the remainder
of the archery season to fill these licenses.
All hunters were limited to one deer gun license this
year. Since there are no concurrent season licenses, there is
no provision to use an unfilled license to continue hunting
during the muzzleloader or archery season. Only hunters
with muzzleloader, archery or unfilled gratis licenses can
participate in those respective seasons.
