Find Your Deer License, and Check it for Accuracy
Deer gun season is only a month away. Do you know where your deer license is?
Every year North Dakota Game and Fish Department staff gets last-minute inquiries from hunters who can't find their licenses. When it happens on opening day, it's difficult to get a replacement license quickly.
Deer hunters in need of a replacement license must print out a duplicate (replacement) license application from the Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov, or call 701-328-6300 to have an application mailed or faxed.
The form must be completely filled out and notorized, and sent back in to the department with a fee. The application will be processed the day it is received at the office, and the license will be mailed out the next day.
Another reason to find your license now is to check it for accuracy. Double-check the license to make sure the unit, species and deer sex is what you intended.
