FILE - This undated file photo shows a deer provided by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department. North Dakota's deer population is lower than it's been for decades. Data released this week by the state Game and Fish Department show that hunter success last season was down from 2012 and well below the long-term average. Wildlife officials say loss of habitat is one of the biggest concerns, and without turning that around there will be little chance of a big rebound in the deer population.

The federal government is setting aside $35 million over three years to help landowners conserve wetlands and grasslands in the five-state Prairie Pothole Region. The money is part of an incentive program built into the farm bill that President Obama signed into law. Wildlife officials say the region of North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Montana provides important breeding and nesting habitat for more than 60 percent of the nation's migratory waterfowl.

FILE - This 2005 file photo provided by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department shows Canada geese in flight in McClean County, N.D. The agency says there are fewer ducks and geese around this winter than in the past few years. An annual midwinter waterfowl survey early in January 2014 indicated about 71,500 birds were in the state, down from 159,000 last year and a record 279,000 in 2012. Migratory game bird biologist Mike Szymanski cites colder-than-normal conditions leading up to the survey as the reason for the drop. (AP Photo/North Dakota Game and Fish Department, File)
