Population outlook

North Dakota 2026

Awaiting survey — North Dakota 2026

Only the federal USFWS American Woodcock Population Status report applies (no ND G&F-specific survey; the state's own Hunting Season Outlook magazine article folds woodcock in narratively only). Re-confirmed via direct URL check and fresh search that the 2026 edition has not been published as of 2026-08-19 (still only the 2025-08 edition found); ND G&F's own consolidated Hunting Season Outlook article (which would otherwise narrate woodcock) also remains unpublished for 2026.
