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
