Section 20.1-03-07.1 - Nonresident waterfowl hunting license required1. Except as provided in sections 20.1-02-05, 20.1-03-07.2, and 20.1-03-07.3, a nonresident may not hunt waterfowl unless that individual first obtains a nonresident waterfowl hunting license. However, a nonresident may hunt cranes after first obtaining a nonresident waterfowl hunting license or a nonresident small game hunting license.2. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the nonresident waterfowl hunting license entitles the nonresident to hunt waterfowl for any period of fourteen consecutive days or any two periods of seven consecutive days each. A license authorizing the fourteen-day hunting period allows hunting in a specified waterfowl hunting zone. A license authorizing two 7-day hunting periods allows hunting in a specified zone during each period.3. Upon payment of the fee for a statewide nonresident waterfowl hunting license, a nonresident may hunt waterfowl in any zone. Forty dollars of the fee for a statewide nonresident waterfowl license must be used for the private land open to sportsmen program.4. The governor, in the governor's proclamation, shall specify various waterfowl hunting zones for which nonresident waterfowl hunting licenses will be available, and may specify the number of licenses which may be issued in each zone and the manner in which they are to be issued.5. A nonresident is entitled to purchase only one nonresident waterfowl hunting license per year.6. The fourteen-day and two 7-day hunting period restrictions do not apply to nonresidents hunting during the early Canada goose season.Amended by S.L. 2013, ch. 193 (HB 1264),§ 2, eff. 3/27/2013.Amended by S.L. 2011, ch. 174 (HB 1407),§ 1, eff. 8/1/2011.
