BEFORE YOU APPLYIt is the responsibility of the applicant to do his

or her homework on the hunter choices chosen ontheir application. For some hunts there are access

restrictions, low hunter success compared to statewideaverages, and variable big game densities and trophy

quality compared to the past.

The Department maintains several informationalresources on our website at www.ndow.org to

help with doing your homework including: HunterInformation Sheets (facts on terrain, vegetation, land

ownership, hunter access, map references, local services,and recommended hunting areas), hunt application

advisories, big game draw odds, hunter success rates,harvest point class, and bighorn sheep age and scores.
