North Dakota Small Game, Furbearer Regulations Finalized

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's Game and Fish Department has finalized this year's small game and furbearer regulations, with most season structures similar to last year.

One change is that trappers using snares must now register with the department. Another is that licenses will be more expensive, due to increases approved by the state Legislature last year.

Prairie chicken and sage grouse seasons will remain closed this fall because of low populations of those birds.
