Online application for tundra swan license lottery available July 28

The online application for North Dakota’s 2010 tundra swan license lottery will be available July 28 on the state Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. The deadline for applying is Aug. 18.

Paper applications will be available by Aug. 1 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 Oct. 2–Jan. 2, 2011. North Dakota residents and nonresidents are eligible to apply.

A total of 2,200 licenses are available. Successful applicants will be issued 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.
