Spark, Good to see an Edgertonian on the board. I was born and raised there. I have a buddy who is an avid hunter/teacher in ND. We talk to each other on a weekly basis. I hunted out there for the second time last year and it was again as impressive for birds as the first trip. As far as your question goes the website is probably your best bet unless you want to call up one of the Fish and Game offices out there. Besides what you mentioned in your post they also are limiting your small game liscene ( which would include any upland hunting you wanted to do) down to 10 days and you have to select the days, whereas before it was for the entire season. Last year all my liscenses cost me 105. This year it will be closer to 200 I am contemplating if I will go again or not. It' s still a great deal but it makes you wonder if worse is yet to come.
