North Dakota · Deer · 2026-27

This is every North Dakota deer season and the day it opens, the whole state at once. A pin turns it into a day-by-day calendar for one deer gun unit, with your own tags marked against it.

North Dakota deer seasons, 2026-27

North Dakota’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 4, 2026 to January 3, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the deer gun unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the deer gun unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
