Prospective pronghorn hunters are reminded the deadline to apply for the 2018 hunting season is Aug. 8.

Applicants can apply online by visiting the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov, or by calling 800-406-6409. Paper applications are not available. Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply for a 2018 pronghorn license.

Hunters who have accumulated bonus points and choose not to apply this year will not lose their points, but will not accrue one for next year. However, hunters who do not want a license in 2018 have the option to purchase a bonus point on the application.
