Permit Required to Collect and Possess Deer
North Dakota Game and Fish Department enforcement personnel are issuing a reminder that a permit is required before taking possession of a deer remains found near a road or in a field. Only shed antlers can be possessed without a permit.
Permits to possess are free and available from game wardens and local law enforcement officials.
In addition, hunters are reminded to properly dispose of deer carcasses as they cannot be left on the side of a roadway or in a ditch, and deer parts should never be discarded in commercial dumpsters.
Equipment Registration Numbers
Hunters, trappers and anglers are reminded that an equipment registration number, or the individual’s name, address and telephone number, must be displayed on all equipment requiring identification.
While on state wildlife management areas, identification is required on items such as ground blinds, tree stands, cameras and traps.
Identification must be attached to cable devices that are set on either private or public land, and on fish houses left unattended on the ice.
Owners can generate an equipment registration number by visiting buy and apply at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. One registration number will be issued that can be used on all equipment that requires identification.
The equipment registration number does not expire.
