Turkeys are a new issue., and I would assume that they work the same as our deer license. I know that this is the stance that the department takes on deer. If you shoot a deer on tribal land and bring it off into ND, you better have a valid ND deer license or you will be charged with illegal possession. Native Americans have the right to hunt as they choose on their land, but this does not extend to non tribal members. In fact, it doesn't matter who you are if you are caught with an animal without a tag on non tribal land you will be charged. Take the Turtle Mountain Reservation for example. The reservation is small six miles by 12 miles. In addition to this the tribe owns land outside the reservation. They can hunt whenever they want on their land. However, if they shoot a deer or a moose on their land and come off of it going back to the reservation they will be in illegal possession as soon as they cross off of tribal owned land. Not saying it is right or wrong, just as it is. I could be wrong on the bird issue, but that is how the department handles big game.
