Youth Waterfowl Weekend Sept. 15-16

Friday, August 31, 2012

North Dakota’s two-day youth waterfowl season is Sept. 15-16. Legally licensed resident and nonresident youth waterfowl hunters age 15 and younger can hunt ducks, geese, coots and mergansers statewide.

The daily bag limit and species restrictions for the youth season are the same as for regular duck and goose seasons.

Resident and qualifying nonresident youth waterfowl hunters must possess a general game and habitat license and a fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate. Nonresidents from states that do not provide a reciprocal licensing agreement for North Dakota residents must purchase the entire nonresident waterfowl license package.

In addition, all youth hunters must be Harvest Information Program certified, and youth ages 12 and older need to have passed a certified hunter education course. Hunters age 15 and younger do not need a federal duck stamp.

Hunters who purchase a license through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department can easily get HIP certified. Otherwise, hunters must call (888) 634-4798, or log on to the Game and Fish website at gf.nd.gov, and record the HIP number on their fishing, hunting and furbearer certificate.

Shooting hours for the youth waterfowl season are one-half hour before sunrise to sunset. An adult at least 18 years of age must accompany the resident youth hunter into the field, and a licensed adult is required to accompany a nonresident youth hunter. The two-day weekend hunt does not count against a nonresident adult hunter’s 14-day regular season waterfowl dates.

NDGF Honors Theodore Roosevelt with Youth Award

/ October 13th, 2011 / No Comments » Posted in Uncategorized / Tag: , , , ,  /

 


The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is promoting a Theodore Roosevelt award that recognizes North Dakota youth who have advanced outdoor skills and are active in Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts or 4-H.

Bill Jensen, the department’s coordinator for the award, said the award is inspired by Roosevelt’s spirit and writings. “Our agency developed the award in 2008 to honor the 150th anniversary of the birth of this remarkable American,” he said. “Our goal is to promote the development of a healthy mind and body, good citizenship, a strong conservation ethic, an understanding of North Dakota’s natural history, and the ability to handle oneself while engaging in a wide variety of outdoor recreational activities.”

Existing programs developed by Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 4-H constitute more than 80 percent of the award requirements. The remaining criteria are composed of educational programs that the Game and Fish Department provides, such as hunter education, National Archery in the Schools and learning about the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation.

The Game and Fish Department believes a young adult who completes the selected requirements for their chosen youth organization will not only be a well-rounded and well-informed citizen, Jensen said, but also will have mastered skills needed to handle an active life outdoors.

In addition to training youth for a wide variety of outdoor adventures, this award program is intended to assist in the retention and involvement of North Dakota youth in 4-H, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.

Adult advisors wishing to obtain copies of the Theodore Roosevelt Award Workbook can download and print them off the education/outreach link at the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov.

Additional questions can be directed to Jensen at (701) 220-5031, or email bjensen@nd.gov.

Wildlife, shooting, civic and fraternal organizations are encouraged to submit an application for the Encouraging Tomorrow’s Hunters program, a grant program developed to assist in recruitment of the next generation of hunters and shooters.

Grant funds will help cover event expenses, including promotional printing; event memorabilia such as shirts, caps or vests; ammunition and targets, and eye and ear protection.

Past funding has enabled several groups to conduct youth pheasant and waterfowl hunts, while others have sponsored trap and shooting events, including archery and rifle shooting.

Any club or organization interested in conducting a youth hunting or shooting event can get more information, including a grant application, from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov., or contact outreach biologist Pat Lothspeich at (701) 328-6332.

The deadline to apply for a 2011 grant is April 15.
