North Dakota deer hunters took
approximately 67,000 deer during
the 2010 deer gun hunting season.
Bill Jensen, big game biologist
for the state Game and Fish
Department, said overall hunter
success was 64 percent.
Game and Fish made available
116.775 deer gun licenses in 2010.
with more than 99 percent issued to
hunters.
Hunter success for- antlered
white-tailed deer was 68 percent.
and antledess whitetail was 63 per-
cent Mule deer buck success was
68 percent, while mule deer doe
hunters had a success rate of 70 per-
cent
Hunters with any-antlered or
any-antlerless licenses almost
exclusively harvest white-tailed
deer. These buck and doe hunters
each had a success rate of 64 per-
cent.
Hunters drawing a muzzleloader
license had a success rate of 46 per-
cent, while young hunters, during
the youth season had a success rate
of 55 percent.
Jensen said significant snow
cover this past winter enabled the
Game and Fish Department to com-
plete aerial deer surveys in all mon-
itorino_ blocks and long-term study
areas. The surveys took longer to
complete than usual - all of Januar3
and February due to poor weather
conditions.
"Deer numbers in many parts of
the state continue on a downward
trend following three consecutive
difficult winters." Jensen said.
"Coupled with an aggressive har-
vest approach on antlerless deer in
units with deer numbers above man-
agement goals, this has resulted in a
reduction in the deer population in
many, but not all, units."
Aerial observations in units south
and west of the Missouri River indi-
cate white-tailed deer numbers
remain stable to increasing, and
mule deer numbers are stable.
Large monitoring blocks in the
northwest and north central portions
of the state (3A1. 3A4, 2K1 and
2K2J have been stable to declining
over the last three years, while the
Cando area (2E) has shown declin-
ing deer numbers. The Wing-Tuttle
(2Jl and 2J2) and Dawson (2I)
areas show stable to decreasing deer
numbers over the last three years.
Survey areas in the Red River
Valley show decreasing to stable
deer numbers in unit 2A. while units
2B. 2C and 2D show a stable to
slightly increasing deer population.

Commissioner Doug Goehring is
warning producers and businesses

Department of Agriculture
(NDDA) not to pay any fees
directly to individuals who claim
to be NDDA inspectors.
"No fees are collected by
NDDA staff in the field."
Goehring said. "'Fees for registra-

are billed through the department's
office in Bismarck and mailed
directly to the producer or busi-
ness."

The department is in the process
of determining recommendations
for licenses in the 2011 deer procla-
mation. These recommendations
will be discussed with the public at
the upcoming Game and Fish advi-
sory board meetings, scheduled for
the week of April 18.
The proclamation will be sent to
the governor's office for approval in
late April.
In addition to harvest rates and
aerial surveys, the department mon-
itors a number of other population
indices to determine license num-
bers, including deer-vehicle colli-
sion reports, depredation reports.

Goehring said producers or
businesses should not pay money
to anyone claiming to represent an
NDDA inspector and attempting to
collect fees. "You should report
the incident immediately to local
law enforcement and call NDDA
at (800) 242-7535," he said.

Hello,
In our business, we travel quite
a bit. We deliver equipment in the
oil field. It helps support our cow,
farming, whiskey, and pinochle
habits. In the course of these trav-
els. we get a real glimpse of
America. From the Canadian line
to South and West Texas.
We have seen Killdeer go from
a sleepy little cow town to a hub of
truck activity 24 hours a day. Years
ago, we fought a hard fight to keep
the ~.state from building a truck
route around the West side of
Watford on Highway 85. We did
not want to divert the business
away from Watford's main street.
Now, as I go through Watford, I
wonder about my judgment.
Driving from Williston to
Dickinson in the winter can be a
challenge If it is icy, you will
probably see a half dozen vehicles
in the ditch: The Stanley area is
maybe worse. Traveling through
Newtown is one long convoy of
tanker trucks.
I just got home from another
Texas trip. Only one traffic fine. so
I would label it as a success.
The trip to Texas is long, but
usually pretty enjoyable. You can

And you can see a lot of differ-

Now as you cross Kansas and
Oklahoma. I guess you are in the
Bible belt. The radio stations are
pretty much evangelist preachers.
There are more churches than bars
along the road. I guess that is
alright, but don't leave anything
lying in your pickup if you stop to-
eat or spend the night there. I think
some of these people are material-
istic. There are many billboards
advertising one church or another.

guess maybe a smattering of
Baptists. About the only difference

could tell was that as a Catholic,
could go to confession. A way
out.
Anyway, as you travel through
the Bible belt you see an occasion-
al sign toting a "Gentleman's
Club". Now, although you may
disagree with me. I consider
myself a gentleman. I open the
door for ladies. If I burp at the
table. I excuse myself. If I'm real-
ly dressing up, I clip my nose and
ear hair! Paints an awful picture
doesn't it.
But. as I tired of driving, I
thought a bit of gentlemanly con-
versation would be good for my
soul. I tell you, it cost several dol-
lars to get into a "Gentleman's
Club". And I think honestly, I .was
the only gentleman in there! It
turned out there were young ladies
dancing in there.
And...Well .... They weren't doing
a waltz or a polka. And I really
doubt if they could even do the
chicken dance! It was disgusting! I
gave them a few dollars so they
could afford more clothes.
Then. as I was nearing Houston.
I saw a billboard that I thought was
rather unique advertising.
Evidently, it is illegal to advertise
nude or exotic dancers. Now don't
get upset, I didn't stop! I am an old
man. But this sign brought a smile
to my gentlemanly face. The sign
advertised "Fabric Free Dancers!"
You have to admire originality.
Later. Dean
