North Dakota Offers Online Swan App, Available July 25

The online application for North Dakota’s 2013 tundra swan license lottery will be available July 25 on the state Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. The deadline for applying is Aug. 14.

Paper applications will be available the end of July from Game and Fish offices, county auditors and license vendors. Hunters can also apply by calling (800) 406-6409. A service fee is added for license applications made by phone.

The statewide tundra swan hunting season is Sept. 28 – Dec. 29. A total of 2,200 licenses are available. Successful applicants will receive a tag to take one swan during the season. Since swans are classified as waterfowl, nonresidents may hunt them only during the period their nonresident waterfowl license is valid.

North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply.
