North Dakota Game and Fish improves gratis license application process

BISMARCK – North Dakota landowners

applying for deer gratis licenses

will notice improvements to the online application process, the Game and Fish Department said in a news release.

The new system simplifies land selection by allowing users to click on property descriptions rather than manually entering lengthy details.

During the first year, applicants need to search and select their lands. In subsequent years, a convenient renewal button will speed up future applications. An additional link is available to reference records from previous years.

These changes help validate eligible records more efficiently, ultimately reducing the time required to process the deer lottery, Game and Fish said. By improving accuracy and preventing errors, the system ensures a smoother experience for applicants and a timely lottery for those eager to receive their results.

General deer and muzzleloader lottery applications will be online in early May. The deadline to apply is June 4.
