The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is collaborating with North Dakota State University on a statewide survey aimed at understanding the economic impact of hunting and fishing activities in the state. The survey will be distributed via email to a random sample of hunters and anglers beginning March 11.

Participants will be asked to provide details on their expenditures related to equipment purchases, vehicles, travel, accommodations and other associated costs incurred during hunting and fishing trips. By conducting this survey, the Game and Fish Department intends to develop a comprehensive understanding of the financial contributions made by hunters and anglers to North Dakota’s economy.

If selected for the survey, hunters and anglers are encouraged to participate so their contributions are accurately reflected in important economic data used to inform hunting and fishing policies in the state.
