Advisory Board
(Last updated 03/2026)
Created in the 1960s the North Dakota Game and Fish Advisory Board is made up of eight members, four landowners and four hunter/anglers.

Bi-annual meetings are held in each of eight districts giving citizens an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife related issues.
