Visibility Of Deer Blinds Can Be An Issue Of Concern
ND Game & Fish News Release - released October 26, 2009
North Dakota deer gun and bow hunters who use ground blinds or elevated stands should consider marking them so they are visible to other hunters from all directions.
In the last few years, and reaching a peak during last year’s deer gun season, some hunters have expressed safety concerns with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department when it comes to the use of ground blinds and elevated stands during the deer gun season.
The concern – from those who use them and others who don’t – is that many of the stands, elevated or not, often blend into the surroundings. Because they are hard to see, the stands often go unnoticed by other hunters who unknowingly might shoot in that direction.
While North Dakota law requires deer gun hunters to wear blaze or fluorescent orange so they can be easily seen in the field, there is no such rule for marking blinds occupied by hunters.
The Game and Fish Department plans to address this issue at the fall advisory board meetings, which will be announced in November.

Safety First This Hunting Season
MN DNR News Release - released October 19, 2009
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources sells about 600,000 hunting licenses each year so there will be a large number of hunters afield this fall in search of a variety of big and small game. The DNR says it’s important that each hunter put safety first to ensure an enjoyable and successful hunting trip.
“Minnesota is a very safe place to hunt and hunting is a very safe activity,” said Capt. Mike Hammer, DNR Enforcement Education Program coordinator. “The few hunting incidents we do have are almost always linked to a safety violation.”
Double-digit hunting fatalities were the norm in Minnesota during the 1950s and 1960s with a high of 29 fatalities in 1961. But with the help of mandatory hunter education classes that average has been greatly lowered.
Hammer believes most hunting incidents could be prevented if hunters apply what they learned during Firearm Safety training.
Minnesota hunters born after Dec. 31, 1979 must take a DNR Hunter Education Firearms Safety Training Course and receive a certificate of completion before purchasing a license for big or small game.
The firearm safety class consists of a minimum of 12 hours of classroom and field experience in the safe handling of firearms and hunter responsibility. The field experience allows students to learn and demonstrate commonly accepted principles of safety in hunting and the handling of firearms. It includes live fire on a rifle range. Upon successful completion of this course, students receive a temporary certificate. This certificate will allow the bearer to purchase a hunting license in Minnesota and other states where certification is required.
The DNR recognizes that courses can be difficult to fit into the hectic schedules of today’s fast moving lifestyles. As a result, Independent Study Course options are offered for those 16 and older to help the person who has a need for certification and has difficulty arranging participation in the traditional firearm safety course. This method is not a “short cut” to certification. Experience has shown that the Independent Study option involves a similar amount of time as the traditional firearms safety classroom course. The options include the online or workbook version and are administered through volunteer instructors around the state.
Find an upcoming class or get information on the Independent Study options online or call 888-MINNDNR (646-6367).

North Dakota Agencies Prohibit Hunting Over Bait
ND Game & Fish News Release - released October 19, 2009
The North Dakota Game and Fish Department reminds hunters that hunting big game over bait on state wildlife management areas is prohibited.
In addition, hunting over bait is also not allowed on all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national wildlife refuges and waterfowl production areas, U.S. Forest Service national grasslands, and all North Dakota state school, state park and state forest service lands.
Hunting over bait is defined as the placement and/or use of baits for attracting big game and other wildlife to a specific location for the purpose of hunting.
Baits include but are not limited to grains, minerals, salts, fruits, vegetables, hay or any other natural or manufactured foods. It does not apply to the use of scents and lures, water, food plots, standing crops or livestock feeds being used in standard practices.
