North Dakota’s deer bow season opens Friday, Aug. 29, at noon and continues through Jan. 4.

Bowhunters can buy a license online at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department or at vendors linked to the department’s online licensing system.

Hunters should plan accordingly and allow for time to receive their tag in the mail, as the tag will arrive by postal mail and not over the counter while the customer waits. This applies while purchasing a bow license at a license vendor, or at the Game and Fish Department. The bow tag will be mailed the next business day after the license is purchased.

All archery hunters must have a bow tag in possession before hunting.

Hunters can find season information and regulations from the Game and Fish.
