BISMARCK, N.D. (KFYR) – The deer gun hunting season in North Dakota opened Nov. 6 at 12 C.T.<\/p>\n
If you were lucky enough to draw a deer tag this year, there are some rules and regulations you need to follow.<\/p>\n
\u201c400 square inches of blaze orange is what you need and then that\u2019s including a hat as well,\u201d Noah Raitz said, district game warden.<\/p>\n
Remember to always carry your deer tag with you while you\u2019re hunting, and if you harvest a deer there are some things you need to do. <\/p>\n
\u201cFirst thing you should do when you harvest a deer is immediately tag it, notch out the date, month that it was killed. And then if it\u2019s an antlered deer, put it at the base of the antler. And if it\u2019s an antlerless, you put a slit in the ear and then put it through there. Don\u2019t forget the carcass tag has to stay with the deer throughout the transportation process,\u201d Raitz said.<\/p>\n
You can transport someone else\u2019s deer with the proper permit.<\/p>\n
\u201cTransporting another person\u2019s deer, you can contact a local law enforcement officer or your local game warden to get a transportation permit. Which basically allows that person to transport another person\u2019s deer,\u201d Raitz said.<\/p>\n
There are a couple different ways private land can be posted.<\/p>\n
\u201cShould be looking for physical signs, probably first around the property if you\u2019re going to want to hunt it and then the next step is to check if it\u2019s electronically posted,\u201d Raitz said.<\/p>\n
If you harvest a deer on land where you have the legal right to hunt and it runs onto posted property, what can you do?<\/p>\n
\u201cSo for a legally harvested animal that runs onto private property that\u2019s posted, the hunter does have the legal right to go retrieve that deer. But it\u2019s simply to retrieve it. It\u2019s not to keep pursuing it. So any sort of firearm or bow or muzzleloader would have to be left behind. And then if it goes further into the property, we advise contacting the landowner just to establish that connection just so you don\u2019t mess up maybe a hunt that they\u2019re on or something like that,\u201d Raitz said.<\/p>\n
And the most important thing this deer season is?<\/p>\n
\u201cHave fun and stay safe,\u201d Raitz said.<\/p>\n
