(Bismarck, ND) -- Deer hunters are getting ready for gun season which opens on Friday.
There have been more than 53-thousand deer gun licenses issued this year.
The Game and Fish Department says that's about eleven-thousand fewer licenses than in 2022.
White-tailed deer numbers are down due to an outbreak of EHD [[ Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease ]] in central regions of the state a couple of years ago.
The tough winter last year has also affected populations in some areas.
