Hey guys, now is a good time to come snow goose hunting, lots of them around and the snow has stopped the migration. They are everywhere. You can go ice fishing and set up some decoys on the ice and get some shooting too.
For those of you that are interested in booking fall duck and goose hunts now is the time, it looks like it will be another great year, snow is filling up the potholes with water.
Many types of hunts to choose from.

Thanks guys for the info. however I will not be switching residency because the majority of my hunting and fishing is done in MN. It would actually be more expensive for me to do that. I guess if it doesnt pass then I will just have to live with it. Thanks once again for the info. i appreciate it.

Guns, Marty is right. I personally think the bill will pass, but won't become law until at least this fall. Marty is also right in that if you moved to Grand Forks to attend school, another option for getting the resident rate on licenses is called the residency waiver (my guess is this is what most students are doing now and is the root of past rumors of students getting resident priveliges). On that, you essentially state that you WILL be living in ND for the required amount of time in the coming year. Of course, once you sign that you are technically a non-resident to Mn because you can't have it both ways.
Oh yeah, let me apologize for the NDGF if they were rude to you. Normally, I get nothing but the most courteous people in the world when I talk to them. She must have been having a bad hair day.

Guns,
The legislature isn't over with and all of the bill have to pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Crossover was just last week which is the deadline for all of the bills that were passed to be moved over and debated in the other side.
If a bill passes both the House and the Senate, and it doesn't get vetoed it does not go in effect immediately. If passed, it would take effect on July 1. So as of now there is no way for a nonresident student to purchase a resident license. Who knows what may happen though, you might be able to on July 1 if the legislation passes.
If it doesn't pass, why don't you just change your residence to that of a North Dakotan? This way you are assured resident status on hunting priviliges and the tuition at college should be cheaper once you establish residency.

Jack rabbit is good to eat! The backstrap of a jack is a great piece of meat, similar to venison. I take the backstrap and cut it in cubes, roll it in flour mix and fry like chicken--fried steak. There are lots of recipes for rabbit stew, etc. but cutting it in pieces, rolling in flour mixture and frying in grease is as good as any method...Hope this helps! Don't leave the 'bits for the scavengers!

Minnesota is a sportsmans paradise. Superior and Chippewa national forests offer the best ruffed grouse hunting in North America. Public land whitetail hunting is excellent and I have taken serveral large bucks from our northern forests. Canada goose hunting is also excellent and I enjoy my time afield and the birds I bag. Minnesota is a top destination for musky hunters and walleye fishing in the many lakes and rivers is very good. Minnesota dosn't offer the kind of duck hunting it once did but an occasional limit is still possible. I don't believe I'll ever hunt or fish in North Dakota as I'm to busy taking advantage of what Minnesota has to offer. If any of you N.D. sportsmen or women would like to give Minnesota a try you can buy your big or small game license right over the counter when you arrive.

Anyway, I haven't tried to get a hold of that guy yet. I will look him up once I have a couple coyotes in the pickup box! I haven't hunted them in a few years because the price was pretty low for a while, now it sounds like you can make about $100 on a good day! Thanks for all the info. If you are interested in a couple places to look for fox or coyote I can give you a pretty good spot where I know there are some around. My inlaws have a farm and there are getting to be quite a few around their place. They scare my mother in law at night, because she can hear them howling!

Guns, I think there is a way for students who move to ND to apply as residents (and pay resident rates) for deer, turkey, fishing, etc. BUT, I see you signed in from East Grand Forks. This will probably work against you, as it is intended for students who will reside in ND during the academic year as opposed to just someone tripping across the border for classes.
Just the same, the authority on this is NDGF. Contact them from the below list and they will provide the details on any program they may have going right now.

Josh, Anywhere south of Mandan and westward is awsome for p-dogs. Remember, "just ask and the gates may open". A lot of ranchers out there want them thinned out as they cause problems for the livestock....ie - broken legs etc.
Coldy, I would suggest trying the buyer/broker just outside of Cayuga if they are still doing furs. I have not been there in about 6 years as I sell mine to my Uncle in Wing ND who sells to a broker out of Canada.

Coldy,
Hey, nice to get a response from someone in the neighborhood. I and my 13 yr old son have bagged 5 of them. The price I have been paid is around $20.00 to $25.00. I don't trap, I shoot them with my Rem 22-250 and my son uses his 22Mag. Have you seen many in/around your area? We have seen the most west of Fort Ransom and southward. I was advised to check with some farmers near Gackle and Kulm regarding coyote problems with the ranchers livestock. I would imagine any "local establishment" in Gackle or Kulm would be able to give me some whereabouts on locating some yotes. I hope to do some scouting this weekend as it is suppose to be fairly nice. Goodluck, Coldy.....keep me posted on your activities and prices!! Oh, by the way, where do you sell your hides/carcasses. Have you ever gone to the fur buyer near Cayuga?

David, Keene is on the edge of the northern edge of the badlands and has excellent mulie and white tail deer hunting in every direction. There are also some antelope in the area, but good luck trying to get a tag!! Reasonable numbers of pheasants, sharpies, and huns for upland hunting. Some ducks and geese in the fall, but waterfowl aren't as plentiful. Beautiful area to hunt, access can be a problem unless you are hunting with someone from around there though. Overall I really enjoyed hunting that area when I lived and worked out there.

Steve, ND isn't an easy place to find prairie dogs for the average joe hunter. Our biggest populations are in the SW 1/4 of the state (at least I don't many since I moved here in the east). My advice? Get a ND PLOTs guide from the NDGF web page and starting at the Little Missouri north of Killdeer, work your west and south looking for these little buggers on state and fed lands. I think most farmers will probably let you hunt prairie dogs on their land so long as they do not have cattle within the same area. It's been years since I've shot them, wary little buggers, prefer gopher shooting myself. I would also strongly suggest looking through ND game and fish rules and regs to see if licenses are needed, seasons, etc. Wouldn't want anyone to get in trouble shooting these pests.

Great article Allen. It looks like this non-resident topic is being talked about all over the U.S. I was born and raised in ND and have hunted the whole state from border to border. I am all for conservation of wildlife and there should probably be a limit on non-resident hunters in ND as long as it is practical. One of the common concerns from ND people is that non-residents don't obey laws, and have too big of an impact on hunting availability resources. There will always be bad apples in any group, non-resident or resident hunters, and getting on private land has never been an issue for me if you ask permission ahead of time. Non-residents pay $100 to hunt ducks and $155 to hunt deer in ND. that extra money might be well spent on hiring more wardens or to purchase more refuge land for public hunting. just throwing out some ideas. one thing I do know for sure is that wildlife needs protection for future generations. I hunted ducks in the 80's when there were no ducks and the prairie pothole region was pretty much dried up. that was sad to see and I hope the populations never dip that low again. if that means a limit on licenses, then that is what should be done, both resident and non-resident limits, just like for deer. Unfortunately I have heard allot of other self serving reasons expressed for putting a limit on non-resident hunting, and that is sad.

Ya, Staz that would be very nice. Unfortunately it is a little more complicated than that. The future of hunting is in the land owners hands and they want things their way which is no restrictions on NR waterfowl. They would rather make a buck and throw our resource into a non protective state meaning, A million hunters could come and basicaly ravage the resource. Now these same land owners would have you believe that us residents who do not own land want it all to ouselves. that would be nice and to say I do not want that is a lie. But, I understand that we can not have it to ourselves and that we must share with others. However there must be a limit to protect the resource. I have talked with NR's and they support a limit. They really do not want this resource placed at risk either. So it is all about money. And our Govenor is a banker. Who do you think is going to win this? I bet the cap gets thrown out next year. then Pointer guy can make all kinds of money. none of which will ever help the average Joe. But come and hunt anyway, we will welcome you and you will have a great time. Just plan ahead is all. I guess some legislators are talking about upland limits. goodluck passing that with a banker in the chair.
