Seven Bighorn Sheep Licenses

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department allocated seven bighorn sheep licenses for the 2024 hunting season, one more than last year.

One license was issued in unit B1, two in B3, two in B4 and one in B5. In addition, one license, as authorized under North Dakota Century Code, was auctioned in March by the Midwest Chapter of the Wild Sheep Foundation, from which all proceeds are used to enhance bighorn sheep management in North Dakota.

In total, 19,889 applicants applied for bighorn sheep. Successful applicants have been notified.

Prospective hunters were required to apply for a bighorn license earlier this year on the bighorn sheep, moose and elk application.
