Becoming an Outdoors-Woman Program Schedules Winter Workshops
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Becoming an Outdoors-Woman program has scheduled one-day winter workshops Feb. 9 at Devils Lake, and Feb. 29, March 1 and 2 at Lake Metigoshe State Park, Bottineau.<br />
The Devils Lake class is geared toward ice fishing and darkhouse spearfishing. All equipment will be provided.<br />
Lake Metigoshe offers a variety of classes. A class on dog sledding is available all three days with a limit of six participants per session (this class fills very fast). Basic snowshoeing and winter tracking, winter ecology and cross-country skiing, and ice fishing is available March 1, with each class limited to 12-15 students. Nancy Boldt, program coordinator, said cross-country skiing and ice fishing will again be offered on Sunday if there is enough interest.<br />
Women interested in the workshops should register immediately due to limited space available. The cost is $40 for one day or $60 for two days. Preregistration with payment is required. Equipment and snacks will be provided.<br />
Information and registration forms can be obtained by contacting Nancy Boldt, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501-5095; 701-328-6312; or email ndgf@nd.gov.<br />
Registration forms are also available on the Game and Fish website, gf.nd.gov, by accessing the education tab, and clicking on "formal and informal education."
Nonresident Any-Deer Bow Licenses Issued March 1<br />
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department will have 1,252 any-deer bow licenses available to nonresidents in 2008.<br />
The number of nonresident any-deer bow licenses available is 15 percent of the previous year's mule deer gun license allocation. The Game and Fish Department issued 8,350 mule deer licenses in the 2007 deer gun lottery.<br />
The department will begin issuing any-deer bow licenses March 1. All applications received on or before March 1, 2008, will be treated equally. If more applications are received than there are licenses, each application will be assigned a number. Numbers will be drawn to issue the licenses. Applicants who request to apply together as a party will receive one number. Additional numbers will be drawn to establish a waiting list. If returned licenses become available, these applicants will be offered the licenses.<br />
If licenses remain after March 1, these will be issued daily on a first-come, first-served basis.
