Well I got and tagged out on opening night in nd.

Made a okay shot on him, but left him lay until morning, coyotes got him. Full velvet

8pt, 22in inside spread. Rough scored him at 155 2/8

The last one was off my cellphone and not that great.

Before and after.

That's a great deer. Sorry about the yotes, that really sux but it's part of hunting in lots of areas these days. Looks like they didn't leave much for ya.

nice. how long did it take to get a tag?

[HunterLee]

about ten minutes- unlimited over the counter for whitetails

Great Buck!!! What part of the state were you in? Were you on private land, or did you set the camera up then hunt the area. Sorry for all the questions, just curious for next year.

i always thought N.D was a buck lottery for nonresident.

Great buck! Congrats!!!

[mrklean]

for archery i think it is OTC

[Scoot]

I can't remember for sure (haven't been a non-resident for so long), but I think any deer (i.e., muley or whitetail) is a lottery and a whitetail only tag is OTC.

Wow - that's a great buck HunterLee. And full velvet to boot - beautiful.

Congrats!

Correct. Whitetail archery tags are OTC, any deer archery tags are lottery (or first come first served after the first drawing if not all tags are issued).

Firearm season tags are all lottery and NR are granted 1% of the total number of tags in a unit. Its not easy to draw a gun tag.

NR cannot draw Muzzleloader tags, IIRC.

Nice buck HunterLee!

OTC Whitetail NR archery tags in ND cost $200. As INTW wrote, a NR rifle tag is tough and the opportunity for a NR to hunt muleys with a bow is not given out lightly either.

South Dakota is what i was thinking there archery is OTC

[HunterLee]

Got him around valley city.

As for the tags.

Whitetail Bow is over the counter unlimited.

Any deer tag- whitetail/muley is first come first serve with a quota. I think its 400 if i remember correctly.
