N.D. Cent. Code § 20.1-01-33: Exploitation of wildlife - Penalty

1.A person is guilty of exploitation of wildlife if that person intentionally:

a.Commits five or more title 20.1 class A misdemeanor offenses within a two-year period;

b.Commits seven or more title 20.1 misdemeanor offenses within a two-year period;

c.Furnishes assistance, management, or supervision to an individual who commits or assists in the commission of seven or more title 20.1 misdemeanor offenses within a two-year period; or

d.Commits a title 20.1 misdemeanor offense after having been previously convicted of seven or more title 20.1 misdemeanor offenses within a ten-year period.

2.Violation of this section is a class C felony and, in addition to other penalties imposed by law, is subject to section 20.1-01-26. The defendant being over a daily or possession limit of fish, small game, or waterfowl is not sufficient as a predicate offense for a conviction under subdivision b or c of subsection 1 unless the state proves that the conduct occurred over more than three days or the person takes or possesses more than four times a daily limit and the state alleges and proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the minimum number of predicate offenses required were committed intentionally. Except for a charge under subdivision d of subsection 1, the state may not charge an individual for both the predicate offense and a charge under this section. A conviction from another state or a federal court for an offense similar to one prescribed in title 20.1 may be used as a conviction under this section.
