BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Game and Fish Department has held its spring wild turkey hunting license lottery, and 883 licenses remain in 10 units.
Game and Fish offered 5,815 turkey licenses for the spring season, the same as last year. Hunters can apply for a second license, and hunters who did not apply in the first drawing also are eligible.
The remaining licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis beginning March 16. Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply.
The spring turkey season opens April 9 and continues through May 15. Hunting Unit 21 in Hettinger and Adams counties will remain closed to hunting this year due to a low number of turkeys there.
