Title: North dakota
Post by: steve04 on July 24, 2013, 08:24:23 PM: Has anybody been pheasant hunting around Williston, North Dakota? My cousin just moved there for work and we want to go pheasant hunting there. Any advice?

As someone pointed out, the PLOTS maps for North Dakota are great. We normally hunt N. of 94 to avoid the Mott/Regent crowds (+a lot of the land down there is leased) and have done well on sharptails and pheasant. Also, we were able to get access to hunting a few places by knocking on the door and asking.

Theirs 7/8 of us, and we limit 'Quick". But we have some awesome farms to hunt. One we could seriously walk for 4 days if we wanted. The people in N Dakota are nice and will let you hunt,most will anyways.

There were birds everywhere. we saw a few coyotes too. The farmers I talked with were more than happy to let you go shoot some birds.. Next time I go back I'll make it a point to go in Pheasant season.
