United Sportsmen of North Dakota

Welcome to our web site!

The United Sportsmen of North Dakota (USND) was organized in 1975 to provide representation at the legislature for sportsmen. Today, the fate of all outdoor activity, particularly hunting and trapping, lies in the hands of the political process. Legislative sessions continue to have a flood of bills, good and bad, dealing with outdoor issues. To have any impact on these bills, sportsmen have to be politically active.

USND provides two annual scholarships to deserving students majoring in the Wildlife or Biology field. USND will continue to support all efforts, public and private, to improve and expand good wildlife habitat. Who are the members of USND?

We are businessmen, farmers, ranchers, government employees, salesmen, trappers, fishermen, conservationists and others.

We are men and women who share a deep concern for wildlife and its future in North Dakota; who pursue field sports, especially hunting and fishing and who abide by the code of fair play.
