North Dakota Bighorn Sheep Hunters Enjoy Success

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — All five hunters who got a bighorn sheep license in North Dakota last year bagged a ram.

One license is given out in North Dakota every year through an auction to raise money for sheep management, and the rest are given out through a lottery drawing.

Bighorn sheep, moose and elk licenses are issued as once-in-a-lifetime licenses in North Dakota. The state Game and Fish Department says hunter success during last year's moose season was 88 percent, and for the elk season 67 percent.
