North Dakota Zone 2L Archery Deer Tag??

[VA5326]

Hey guys I'm trying to plan a DIY Whitetail Archery hunt to North Dakota in Zones 2L and possibly 2F1. My question is: Are ND whitetail archery tags OTC, is it a draw, or both? I know you have to put in for the draw per se, but is it 100% draw odds? I've heard a couple of different perspectives but they are from gun hunters and they weren't exactly sure on archery regs and such.I know the gun draw is very difficult to score a tag nowadays. Full disclosure: I've done very little research and I'd figure I'd ask here first to start. Thanks guys.

Yes archery whitetail tags are over the counter . Can buy online or any local hardware store

You don't apply in a draw for a wt tag, just otc or order online. There is no deadline to purchase either.

What the last 2 guys said.

Also, tags are good statewide. Season is generally around September 1 through January 5. That's roughly the dates. Depends on how the weekends fall.

Awesome! Thanks for the assist gents. Sounds easy enough. I have an acquaintance who has a private farm right that sits right next to public. He's not an archer though.

I don't believe you can buy them at any local store. Per the Game and Fish regs- "General nonresident bow licenses for white-tailed deer are issued by the Department’s Bismarck office, through the Department web site, or by calling 1-800-4066409." You used to be able to buy everything at lots of local stores but I know they really pared that back.

VA- If I were you, I'd buy a tag online before you come out.

That's my plan brother. I'm online investigating as we speak.

Also depending on the dates when you come, for some extra fun maybe try the upland and or waterfowl hunting as well. Just a suggestion. Enjoy the trip!
