This April 19, 2012, photo shows deer in Bismarck, N.D. North Dakota's Game and Fish Department is making just 65,300 deer licenses available for the 2012 season, a drop of more than 40 percent from last year and the fewest licenses in nearly a quarter century. The reduction in licenses is in response to a smaller deer population throughout the state caused by three straight harsh winters, from 2008 to 2010, Game and Fish wildlife chief Randy Kreil said Monday, May 7, 2012.
