Notes to Nonresidents

To hunt small game such as pheasant, grouse, partridge and mourning dove, nonresidents need the following licenses: certificate, small game, general game and habitat and a crane permit. Small game licenses are good for 14 consecutive days or two seven-day periods. Nonresidents may now hunt sandhill cranes with either a small game or waterfowl license. Hunters can purchase more than one small game license.

To hunt ducks, geese and swan, a waterfowl license is needed, plus the general game and habitat stamp. In addition, hunter age 16 and older need a federal waterfowl stamp. Waterfowl licenses are for 14 days or two seven-day periods.

Nonresidents are limited to one waterfowl license per season. Nonresident migratory bird hunters must register with the Harvest Information Program in North Dakota, even if they are HIP certified in their home state.

Antelope and deer hunters need a certificate and general game and habitat stamp in addition to their bow or gun license.
