N.D. Cent. Code § 20.1-01-27: Disposition of animals killed by motor vehicle

Whenever any big game animal is killed by a motor vehicle on a public highway or roadway, any person who desires to possess that animal shall notify as soon as possible any game warden or other authorized person. The authorized person shall give a dated and written note of validation which allows legal possession of the animal and authorizes the person whose name appears thereon to possess or dispose of the animal. The note of validation must remain with the carcass while in processing or storage. There is no fee for the inspection and validation.
