Im an Oregon guy interested in ND I'm working out of Williston staying in a man camp for key.wasn't even sure if it were legal to hunt here with hounds. Just thought I might find a little info on the country or some one that hunts it

It is legal to hunt coon and bocat with hounds in North Dakota and over the past several year with an increase of cougars in mainly in the badlands areas permits are offered on a very limited basis.

With the extreme cold lately coons are holed up and you won't find much moving until the temperature gets above 28 degrees but they are about to go into the rut so you will see some boar coon movement. Bobcats your best bet is in the badlands areas where there is public land to run on. The big and Little Missouri breaks offer some decent bobcat hunting but you have to compete with trappers and predator callers.


Are you driving truck on the Hess project or working on a rig?

I will be working on a rig I really don't know much about it yet I have worked in the woods all my life and figured it was an opportunity to see what the big talk was all about in ND well I ended up with a job in the middle of cat season so now I been beating down the road for a few days. Thanks

Better check the regs, nonresidents can't take cats in ND. Nonresidents can only hunt fox and coyotes with the $25 furbearer/small game license. A nonresident trapping tag is $250

Thanks for the info I don't think I will bring my dogs up prob won't go over with the work schedule but I'm really interested in how these cats and dogs work so far looks like the rivers would be ticket you guys ever have the game cross them frozen rivers they look like a death trap

In ND they measure the ice in feet not inches, even on the rivers

yep. you see dirt bikes and sleds on the rivers over there all the time. they dont have mountains so they go to the river. they move slow enough that a guy doesnt have to worry about the ice.

how is it going ted? i think you would love the bobcats out in this are. of coarse i don't live in nd but i hunt terrain that is similar. the cats run good they can relly duckand dodge. great races and you get to see the cat alot of times during the race. give me a call one of these days. Paul

Good luck to ya up there and tell Tony Klein and Kevin Overland with Key hello from me. Good guys!

Hey thanks for the info where you living at Paul i get a chance I might head your way and be co pilot

I worked out there last fall doing residential construction. Anyway you could look up the owner of Scenic Sports in Williston. He is Hound hunter and i seen on his forum he invited out of towners to look him up. I think his name is Andy. I was going to call him up just never got the chance.

That's funny you said that I was in there today and bought a big duffel bag never would of guessed that I will go in and visit a bit i have a few days to kick rocks. What a busy place to bad it wasn't every where
