North Dakota’s 2026 deer season is set, with 39,100 licenses available to hunters, down 3,200 from last year, the lowest total in over a half century. The statewide deer herd continues to recover from the lingering effects of the 2022-23 winter and epizootic hemorrhagic disease outbreaks across a landscape with increasingly limited habitat. Conservative license allocations are intended to maintain hunting opportunities while encouraging population growth in the state. Learn more in this week's NDO Webcast.
