Nonresident Any-Deer Bow Licenses All Issued for 2011
North Dakota’s nonresident any-deer archery licenses, good for either whitetail or mule deer, have all been issued by lottery drawing for the 2011 bow season.

A total of 1,091 licenses were available, with 1,172 nonresidents submitting an application by the March 1 deadline. Unsuccessful applicants have their name placed on a waiting list if any licenses are returned.

Nonresidents can still purchase a white-tailed deer bow license. There is no limit to the number of whitetail bow licenses issued each season, but there is a limit of one deer bow license per hunter.

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 7,275 mule deer licenses in the 2010 deer gun lottery.

This is something to remember for next year.... for a relatively cheap hunt you can do it your self archery hunt for Big mule deer in the Badlands of ND.   Esp big mule deer are often shot around Theodore Rosevelt National Park each year by bow hunters.  Its all spot and stalk hunting.

The non resident tag is getting tougher to draw in ND every year, but Corny is right. There is a really great opportunity to get out after deer before the MN season starts up.
There are thousands of acres in the Badlands open to the public. Most of it will be a spot and stalk, but if you have an extra day to scout, you can find the ravines and draws where the deer funnel through in the morning and evenings, and there is good opportunity to hang a stand for an ambush.
