Upland game hunting

Pheasant hunting is only offered upon availability. This type of hunt will be a release hunt, where the birds are released a day or two prior to the hunt. This is due to the low amount of pheasants in the area and to make sure that there are some in the area.

 

Ruffed grouse is becoming a popular bird in the northern area of North Dakota. These are not release hunts. You will be shooting wild grouse in the prairie lands.

All hunters must follow North Dakota regulations.
