Above: You must wear both a hat and outer garment above the waist-
line totaling at least 400 square inches of solid daylight.
When it comes to deer season questions and answers the best advice I
can give is if you don’t know, ask. While it may be convenient to ask
your
fiiend,’ co—worker or hunting partner, the best person to ask a
specific ques-
tion on rules and regulations is the game warden in the area you are hunt-
ing. Understanding the strains of Game and Fish enforcement during this
busy time of year means asking in advance will help aid in getting a ques-
tion answered quickly. Check out the Game and Fish website, gfndgov,
for a full list of questions and answers.
What licenses do I need for deer gun season?
A general game and habitat or combination license, and the deer license.
Gratis license holders need only the gratis license.
I have a concurrent season license. When can I use it?
The license can be used during the archery season with a bow; the deer
gun season with a bow, rifle or muzzleloader; or the muzzleloader season
with a muzzleloader. You are restricted to the type of antlerless deer
print-
ed on the license and must stay in the unit to which the license is
assigned.
Can hunters ages 14 or 15 (in 2021) with a youth season license who
did not harvest a deer during the youth season, hunt the regular deer
gun season with this license?
Yes, but you are subject to the restrictions listed on the license.
I was unsuccessful in filling my mule deer buck license in a restricted
unit during the youth season. Can I hunt the remainder of the state dur-
ing the regular gun season?
No. You are restricted to the same unit as during the youth season.
I shot a deer, but it is rotten. What can I do?
You must take possession of the animal by tagging it. A license only al—
lows you the opportunity to hunt. It is not a guarantee to harvest
a'deer, or
to the quality of the animal.
What should I doif I find a wounded deer? . H
Contactagarne wadenDo not shoot the deer unless you want to tag
it or are instr‘dbted by the warden to do so.
Is camouflage blaze orange acceptable for the deer gun season?
No. You must wear both a hat and outer garment above the waistline
totaling at least 400 square inches of solid daylight fluorescent orange.
I hunt with a bow. When do I have to wear orange?
Only during the regular deer gun season.
Can I hunt road rights-of—way?
Do not hunt on road rights-of-way unless you are certain they are open
to public. use. Most road rights-of—way are easements under control of
the
adjacent landowner and are closed to hunting when the adjacent land is
post-
ed closed to hunting. .
Can I hunt on a section line if it is posted on both sides?
No. If the land is posted on both sides, the section line is closed to
hunt-
ing, but is still open for travel.
Hunters with firrther questions are encouraged to Visit the Game and Fish
Department’s website, gfnd.gov., or call 701—328-6300, from 8 am. to 5
pm. weekdays.

NDCF Joins Nationwide Celebration to Recognize
Local Impact of Community Foundations
BISMARCK, ND. —— The North Dakota Com-
munity Foundation (NDCF) will join in a na-
tionwide celebration, November 12-18, 2021, to
recognize the increasingly important role com-
munity foundations play in strengthening local
communities and addressing issues such as do-
mestic violence, addiction, and poverty. ,
“Community foundations are place-based giv—
ing organizations whose members understand lo-
cal issues because they live in the community,” said
Kevin Dvorak, President and CEO ofNDCF. “Not
only do community foundations provide re-
sources to those organizations and initiatives
fliatbestsewelocalneedgtheyprovidedonorswho
wanttogivebackwiththe structureandgivingtools

NDCF currently administers community en—
dowment funds for 69 local community founda-
tions in North Dakota, as well as a variety of oth-
er types of charitable funds including scholarships,
donor-advised firnds, and organizational endow-
ment firnds, which support specific charities in the
state.
Community foundations at NDCF in this part
of the state include

established in 1981, .

lished in 2005,
- the Larry J. erwant Fund for Pembina, ND,
established in 2007, and
the Walhalla Area Community Foundation,
established in 2009.
NDCF has already made over 1,000 grants to-
taling over $3.3 million in 2021 through its var-
ious frmds. These grants are used in a variety of
ways to improve the quality of life for North Dako-
ta residents. Some examples of 2021 grants in-
clude:
- A $1,200 grant from the McKenzie County
Community Foundation to the Vision West ND
Project Non-Endowment Fund for their Hispan-
ic Inclusion in Watford City and McKenzie
County initiative.

munity Foundation to the New England Booster '
Club to bring in the Missoula Children’s Theatre
group for a week-long theatre workshop for the
school.

ty Endowment Fund to the Minot Rural Fire Pro- ‘
tection District for new structural firefighting gear.

terment Corporation for the Wonder Lanes Bowl-
ing Alley Renovation Project.
-A$3,000 grant fiom the Larry J.W11wantF1md

Each community foundation at NDCF has an
advisory committee made up of local residents that
recommend grant awards to the projects and pro—
grams they believe will make the most significant
impact in their area. They also lead fundraising
efforts to help grow their funds for the firture.
The State of North Dakota encourages donors
to direct their philanthropic dollars toward qual-
ified North Dakota endowment funds such as the
community foundations at NDCF by offering a
40% State Tax Credit on certain gifts.
Community Foundation Week, created in
1989 by former president George H.W. Bush, rec-
ognizes the work of community foundations
throughout America and their collaborative ap-
proach to working with the public, private, and non-
profit sectors to address community problems.

CAVALIER, N.D. ——At 2 PM on Saturday, Nov. 18, the new District
19 Dem-NPL party, which will include most of Walsh County, all of Pem-
bina County and the 10 eastern counties of Cavalier County will hold a re-
organization meeting at the Farmers Room in the Pembina County
Courthouse in Cavalier. All party officers will need to be re-elected.
This
meeting is open to the public and interested voters in this newly formed
district are invited to attend and participate in the democratic process of
re-
organizing a new Dem-NFL District 19 party.
Every ten years, given population data from the census, the ND legis-
lature is tasked with redrawing its legislative districts. New boundaries
for
each district must be redrawn to account for population changes due to
cities
grong and rural populations declining. There are 47 legislative districts
in ND meeting the requirement that each district hold approximately 15,000
'
residents.
This summer the ND Legislative Committee ruled a change to go into
effect during the special session the week of Nov. 8th. The newly defined
,
map will have District 19 absorb most of District 10. District 10 will re-
',
establish in central Fargo.
The three legislators now serving District 19 will no longer reside with-
in the new District boundaries and an election is required in 2022 to elect
3
new legislators living within the confines of the new District 19
requiring ~
both Republican and Democrat parties to re-organize and identify candi—
'
dates to run for these newly established legislative posts.

on to be entrepreneurs, scientists, and even our Nation’s leaders. On
this

served our country. God bless the USA. .

Rep. District 10
BISMARCK, N.D. — The ND Legislature
has been notified that we will go into a special
legislative session beginning on November 8,
2021. There was a question as to whether we
would call ourselves into session (reconvene the
regular session from last spring) or if the gov-
ernor would call us into session. The governor
announced on October 29 that he was calling the
special session. If we would have called ourselves .
into a reconvened session, we would have had
only four days to complete all our work The ND
Constitution limits the legislature to meet no more
than eighty days every two years, and we used
seventy-six of our days in the session that end-
ed in April of 2021. Since the governor called
the session now, we are not limited on the length
of the special session.
This could be a double-edged sword. By not
having a limit on the number of days in the ses-
sion we have more time to deal with more bills.
Our House and Senate leaders have indicated
they would like to limit the number and scope
of the bills introduced to a The only'
two topics we really need to address are the re-
districting plan and the Federal money the
state has received called ARPA funds, an
acronym for American Rescue Plan Act.
The redistricting committee finished putting
forth a plan on September 29. We don’t expect
any major changes to the plan during the spe-
North
Kitchen or counter help needed.

Legison ‘ ,
cial session, although some minor changes
could be brought forth in amendments.
The House and Senate Appropriations Com-
mittees finished putting the ARPA spending plan
together on October 28 afier eight days of re-
viewing proposals and negotiating with each oth-
er. It was a lot of tense negotiating, but the plan
is being forwarded to the Legislative Manage-
ment Committee and then on the special session.
This is a case where we could see some amend— ’
ments during the special session. The whole leg-
islature will vote on the spending in the end. We
had about $9.2 Billion in requests on how to
spend it, and only $1.2 Billion available. We
chose to fund about $383.5 Million worth of proj-
ects that we had appropriated money to during
the general session that ended in April, 2021. Af-
ter we adjoumed, we were told that the funding
for those projects didn’t meet the criteria to have
the Corona virus funding pay for them $317 Mil-
lion of that goes to the Department of Trans—
portation with $30 Million going to local roads
and bridges. That means the remaining ARPA
funds was in the range of about $900 Million.
Some of the major spending proposed for the
roughly $900 Million are: $75 Million going for
water projects; $100,000 for each of the_13 state
parks and a total of $10 Million for the State
Parks and Recreation Department; $5 Million to
local parks with none getting more than $1.5 Mil-
lion requiring a 1 to 1 match; State Colleges and
Universities will get $1 13 Million for repairs, new
Coop
buildings, or demolition; $150 Million to help >
build a natural gas pipeline to eastern ND; $25 ‘
Million for nursing homes; $29 Million for Hu-
man Services; $60 Million for the Department
of Commerce; $5 Million for airports; and nu-
merous other amounts. We didn’t spend all the ,
ARPA funds in our proposed bill. By our last tal- ,
1y we still have somewhere over $300 Million
that we can consider in the special session or keep ‘
until the 2023 regular session.
There will be some other bills introduced we
know. There are upwards of half a dozen vac-
cine mandate bills, with one almost sure to pass.
Probably a critical race theory bill will pass as
well. Beyond that, we will have to wait and see. '
The governor would like to see us spend more
of the ARPA funds and even some of the tum-
back money that various departments didn’t need
to spend with all the Corona virus money that
came to us in 2021. That is over $400 Million,
but even though our oil revenue is ahead of
schedule after two months of the new biennium,
a lot can go wrong with our economy between
now and June 30, 2023. We thought it would be
a little careless to spend that money already.
If you have ideas and concerns, you can reach
me by email at: dmonson@nd. gov. I try to re-
spond to my constituents, but with the hectic pace
I’ve been experiencing, it may take a few days.
