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.

A Pair of Vermont 8 Point Bucks
My father and I were both in our stands early in November. It was warm all season and when the cold snap hit the rut must have been hot. After a few hours I could not believe my eyes, a great 8 pointer buck, I was so excited. After harvesting the deer I could not wait to tell my dad.
