Applicants may be required to demonstrate rehabilitation and good moral character. It’s advisable for individuals in this situation to consult legal counsel or the local liquor control authority for guidance.

There very few black bears in North Dakota. Black bears are protected in ND and there are no hunting seasons which in return means there are few black bears in ND. But if there are a good supply of elk and mule deer in your region than you can bet there may be a mountain lion or two around. Black bears are very rare in your area.

Winter
Precipitation is light and nearly always in the form of snow during the winter in North Dakota. Monthly water equivalents of melted snowfall for the winter months average mostly from 0.3 to 0.6 inches, but January amounts range upwards to 0.9 inch in the northeast

Spring
The first substantial rains of spring sometimes fall in late March, but usually in early April. Monthly precipitation amounts increase as spring wears on because the storms which traveled well south of the state in winter now follow more northerly tracks. Rainfall ranges from 0.5 to 2.5 inches per month depending on location and month. During the spring months, the southeast corner of the state receives more precipitation than the rest of the state because it is closer to the main storm tracks and the Gulf of Mexico moisture source. Therefore, precipitation is lightest in the northwest where amounts in April and May are more than an inch lighter than in the southeast. The southwest and northeast areas of the state receive about the same amount of precipitation in April and May.

Summer
Rainfall hits its high peak in June. Amounts range from just over three inches in the extreme northeast and northwest to more than four inches at several locations in the southern half of the state. In July and August, average rainfall amounts have decreased from June levels, but monthly averages as high as about three inches are still found over the Red River Valley. However, in the extreme west rainfall decreases rapidly in both July and August, so that by August the Red River Valley has about twice as much rainfall as western border counties.

Fall
Precipitation amounts decrease rapidly throughout the fall months, and by November rainfall ranges from only about a half-inch in the west to nearly an inch in parts of the Red River Valley.
