North Dakota Swan Hunt Lottery Held, 2013 Licenses Remain

North Dakota’s swan lottery has been held and more than 300 licenses remain. Only hunters who do not have a swan license for the 2013 season can apply, as regulations limit hunters to one license per year.

Beginning Sept. 4, all remaining licenses will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis. Resident and nonresident hunters will be able to apply online, or print out an application to mail, at the State Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Hunters may also request an application by calling the department’s Bismarck office at (701) 328-6300. The license fee is $5 for residents and $25 for nonresidents.

The statewide tundra swan hunting season is Sep. 28 – Dec. 29.
