Prospective turkey hunters are reminded that applications for this fall's season must be in the mail and postmarked before midnight July 1.

Interested hunters can submit a lottery application online, or print out an application to mail, at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Applications are also available at Game and Fish offices, county auditors and license vendors, or by calling (800) 406-6409. Only North Dakota residents are eligible to apply in the first lottery.

Individuals mailing applications to the department are advised to mail early because some post offices use the following day's postmark for parcels received after regular hours. The department's online application feature will be deactivated July 1 at midnight.

California Kern River Buck Hunt
I was drawn for the late season Kern River Buck hunt in California and this is what I was able to harvest. I was hunting with my very experienced husband (Kevin Newlen) and 2 small boys Seth (5) and Lil' Kevin (7) year olds.
