First-come, first-served North Dakota deer gun licenses available July 24

BISMARCK – More than 1,900 deer licenses are available in four units for North Dakota’s 2024 deer gun season, and they will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 8 a.m. Central time on Wednesday, July 24, the Game and Fish Department announced Friday, July 12. Residents and nonresidents who have not already received a lottery or landowner license are eligible to apply online by visiting the

Game and Fish website

at gf.nd.gov.

Hunters who want to purchase additional licenses may do so beginning at 8 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, Aug. 14. At that time, any remaining licenses will be issued as a concurrent season license, which can be used during the archery season with a bow; deer gun season with a bow, rifle or muzzleloader; or during the muzzleloader season with a muzzleloader. However, hunters under age 14 (at the end of the calendar year) will be issued a concurrent season license for archery only.

There is no limit on the number of concurrent season licenses a hunter can purchase.

Hunters with concurrent season licenses are restricted to the type of antlerless deer printed on the license and must stay in the unit in which the license is assigned.

Here’s a look at licenses remaining by unit.

• 3A2: Any antlerless, 48.

• 3F2: Any antlerless, 758.
