Nonresidents, except as provided in sections 20.1-02-05, 20.1-03-07.3, and 20.1-03-08, may not:
1. Hunt, catch, take, or kill any small game without a nonresident small game license. The nonresident small game license entitles the nonresident to hunt small game for any period of fourteen consecutive days or any two periods of seven consecutive days each. The hunting period for which the license is valid must be designated on the license. A nonresident small game license is not required to hunt waterfowl under section 20.1-03-07.1 or wild turkeys under section 20.1-04-07. A nonresident may purchase more than one nonresident small game license per year.
2. Trap, catch, attempt to catch, take, or kill any protected fur-bearing animal, except that nonresidents holding a valid nonresident fur-bearer and nongame hunting license may hunt only fox and coyote and except that residents of a state that allows North Dakota residents to trap within that state may purchase a nonresident reciprocal trapping license to trap in this state. However, a nonresident holding a valid nonresident reciprocal trapping license may not trap, catch, attempt to catch, take, or kill bobcats.
3. Catch, attempt to catch, take, or kill any fish without having a nonresident fishing license.
4. Hunt, catch, take, or kill any unprotected bird or animal without having a nonresident nongame hunting license or nonresident fur-bearer and nongame hunting license.
5. Hunt, catch, take, or kill any big game animal without having the respective nonresident big game license.
Each violation of this section is a distinct and separate offense.
