Pronghorn surveys completed, outlook good for upcoming hunting season
BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – North Dakota Game and Fish (NDGF) Department big game biologists recently completed the annual aerial survey for pronghorns.
The 2024 pronghorn hunting season will have more opportunities for hunters in North Dakota.
“We’re going to have 1,265 licenses available for this hunting season, and that’s 845 licenses more than in 2023,” said Bruce Stillings, NDGF big game supervisor.
The July aerial survey indicated the overall pronghorn population is up about 30 percent from last year.
“We had higher adult survival and then better fawn recruitment from the fawns that were born in 2023. This year’s fawn-to-doe ratio was 50 fawns per 100 does, which is slightly better than 2023. The buck-to-doe ratio remains stable right at that, you know, 31 bucks per 100 does,” said Stillings.
Weather can play a key role in pronghorn populations.
“The winter of 2022-2023 was one of the most extreme on record, we saw about a 40% population decline, where this last winter was very mild and we saw a nice bump this summer,” said Stillings.
All seventeen pronghorn hunting units will be open in 2024.
“We’ve been able to open the eight units that we closed in 2023. Those northern badlands animals really made a nice jump. And then areas outside the primary range and the secondary range east of Highway 85 also showed some nice increases,” said Stillings.
The aerial survey is conducted using fixed-winged airplanes from July 1 through July 14.
“We cover over 13,000 square miles within about a ten-day period. This year we classified just over 1,200 groups of pronghorn that resulted in about just over 7,000 animals,” said Stillings.
In order to keep pronghorn populations heading in the right direction, we will need nonextreme winters and good fawning habitat.
The application deadline for the 2024 pronghorn lottery is August 7. Applicants can apply online on the Game and Fish Department’s website at gf.nd.gov

Crowing Counts Up Statewide | North Dakota Game and Fish
The number of roosters heard during the North Dakota Game and Fish Department’s 2026 spring pheasant crowing count survey was 23.2 crows per stop, up 9% statewide from last year.
“Overwinter survival of adult pheasants has been outstanding. Typically, we lose up to 75% of our pheasant population each winter, but that has not been the case as of late,” said RJ Gross, Department upland game management biologist.
By region, observers heard 32.7 crows per stop in the southwest, up 5% from 2025; 22.2 crows per stop in the northwest, up 4%; and 23.1 crows per stop in the southeast, up 24% from last year. The count in the northeast, which is not a primary region for pheasants, was 9.3 crows per stop, up 43% from 2025.
Crowing counts are just one part of the picture, providing a glimpse of the population going into the breeding season. But Gross expects more good news as the peak of the pheasant hatch approaches.
“Entering the nesting season, residual grass cover looked good,” Gross said. “We have received ample precipitation that has led to increased growth in nesting and brood rearing cover across the state. Combined with high overwinter survival over the past three years and near ideal nesting habitat conditions, things are looking great for pheasants in North Dakota.”
Pheasant crowing counts are conducted each spring throughout North Dakota. Observers drive specified routes, stopping at predetermined intervals, and counting the number of roosters heard crowing. The number of pheasant crows heard is compared to previous years’ data, providing a trend summary.
As always, the late summer roadside counts conducted in July and August will give a better idea of brood production and the hunting outlook for fall.
For the full story, watch this week’s North Dakota Outdoors Webcast with R.J. Gross.
