Hunters Unite! Help Shape the Future of North Dakota’s Outdoors

Attention, North Dakota hunters and wildlife enthusiasts! If you’ve ever found yourself wondering where all the pheasants, deer, or even those sneaky grouse have gone, you’re not alone. The loss of wildlife habitat across the Peace Garden State has been a thorn in the side of game and nongame populations alike, and it’s taking a toll on the state’s proud hunting traditions. But don’t hang up your hunting boots just yet—there’s hope on the horizon!

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is hosting a Habitat and Hunting Access Summit to tackle this pressing issue head-on. Set your sights on December 17 and make your way to the National Energy Center of Excellence at Bismarck State College.

This event isn’t just for hunters; landowners, legislators, and local business owners are all encouraged to join the conversation. Whether you’ve got a knack for bagging trophy bucks or care about the critters that call North Dakota home, this summit is your chance to make a difference.

Kicking off at 4:30 p.m., the evening promises not only meaningful discussion but also some well-deserved refreshments—because nothing fuels a good brainstorm like food and drinks! But don’t dawdle; space is limited to 250 attendees, and registration is required.

Let’s come together to preserve North Dakota’s wildlife and ensure future generations can enjoy the same hunting stories we cherish today. Visit gf.nd.gov/habitat-hunting-access-summit to save your spot.

So, grab your camo, your voice, and maybe a buddy or two, and join the movement to keep North Dakota wild!
