N.D. Cent. Code § 20.1-02-28

Current through 2024 Legislative Session
Section 20.1-02-28 - Deerproof hay yard program

Within legislative appropriations, the director shall provide for a deerproof hay yard program. The deerproof hay yard program must provide materials and supplies at no cost and construction cost-share assistance to landowners for the establishment of deerproof hay yards to protect crops, hay, or feed on private property with deer depredation problems. A landowner who allows commercial hunting for big game on a majority of acres owned and operated in exchange for compensation and who posts a majority of the acres owned and operated by that person to prohibit big game hunting is not eligible to participate in the deerproof hay yard program. The department shall establish a prorated repayment system over a three-year period. For winter management program purposes of this section, a person may not willfully hunt, harass, chase, pursue, take, attempt to take, possess, transport, ship, convey by common carrier, sell, barter, or exchange a deer except as provided in carrying out practices to alleviate depredations under the private land habitat and access improvement program and elsewhere in this title.
