Jamestown (CSi) Over 80 deer hunters and landowners Tuesday evening at the Bunker in Jamestown attended a presentation from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department on the current status of the deer herd and possible changes in the way NDGF issues deer hunting licenses.<\/p>\n

Game and Fish has held meetings on the topic around the state this month.<\/p>\n

In about six weeks, Game and Fish will present its annual hunting proclamation to Governor Jack Dalrymple for the 2014 deer hunting season.<\/p>\n

NDGF Wildlife Division, assistant chief, Jeb Williams said any changes the agency decides to make are unlikely to be implemented this year.<\/p>\n

Department input has included adjusting the season length, close the doe season, eliminate youth and non-resident licenses, implement a one-buck or one-deer system, sitting out a year after a hunter draws a buck tag and make no change at all.<\/p>\n

Williams said some of those proposed changes would have to be done through the state Legislature.<\/p>\n

Hunters can still provide input to the NDGF on deer management online at gf.nd.gov\/about-us\/game-and-fish-advisory-board\/deer-meetings. Comments will be accepted until March 17, 2014.<\/p>\n

\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota wildlife officials say all four hunters who got bighorn sheep licenses last year bagged a ram.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 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. The season is in October and November.
\n\u00a0
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 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 91 percent, and for the elk season 50 percent.<\/p>\n

MOSCOW (AP) – There are reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin is checking the status of his military forces in central and western Russia. Ukraine is one of Russia’s western neighbors.

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 BERLIN (AP) – German security services say they are keeping a close eye on a dozen Islamic extremists who are back in Germany after fighting in Syria. Officials say the extremists are considered potential terror threats. Germany’s domestic intelligence service says about 300 people – 280 men and 20 women – have left Germany for Syria since the start of unrest there more than two years ago and that radicalized, battle-hardened returnees are a growing problem.

The Highway Trust Fund finances federal highway and transit programs but is forecast to go broke as early as August. The fund needs $100 billion over the next six years just to maintain current spending levels. Obama and Congress don’t want to raise gas taxes to make up the gap.
