Been scouting/ bow hunting ND the last couple of days. Been tough in the heat. Even tougher trying to find good public ground. Hoping on couple good spots for the pre rut when we come back in October. Anyone have any luck on ND public land?

ND has some really great bowhunting opportunities on state land. Shoot me a PM and let me know where you're looking and I'll do my best to help you out.

You could hunt the Sheyenne National Grasslands. I hunt a private ranch in this area and it is typically pretty good archery hunting that abuts the Grasslands.

The last few years the deer numbers have rebounded, but slowly after approx 3 very hard winters.

Year after year, the Grasslands is a pretty good area to hunt. many areas with heavy woods, river bottoms and wide open spaces.

With the temps warm and the lack of rain, I would hunt close to any fresh water source.

This area is not hunted that hard during archery season. But, you have to watch what area's are open to vechile traffic as they have closed some areas to all vechiles including 4 wheelers.

      2024-2025 Vermilion Ice Fishing

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Finally made it back out on Vermilion today.  The ice is in much better condition than I expected.  The spot I fished last Friday (3/8 mile out from McKinley Park which had only 3-4 inches of ice) had 9½ inches of ice today (top 1½ inch was frozen slush).  I walked out a little over 1/2 mile to fish and found 9 inches of ice (top 1½-2" was white ice).  I found large patches of slush at 1/4 mile out and 3/8 mile out from the landing, and then didn't find any more.  A couple of vehicles found slush at the landing as shown in the attached picture.  Any locations with large accumulation of snow are likely to have slush underneath (even after the -20°F temps the last 2 mornings up here.  Most of the surface was snow free or hard pack thin snow, very easy to walk on.   Lots of ATVs and sleds running around out from the Park, even as far as Ely Island and the small island before Birch Island.  A couple of ATVs dragged a small wheel house and a small skid house out of McKinley Park bay on the east side.  I'm sure that there will be a lot more vehicle traffic this weekend.  I'm going to wait until late next week to drag my lightweight skid house out with my sled.   Fishing was much better today than last Friday.  Caught 50% more walleyes, and they were much larger than last week.  Caught 4 eyes over 16 inches including the 22 inch pictured.  I caught one eye at 20 inches exactly but didn't dare keep that one, even though I think my adhesive tape scale measures fish longer than they actually are.  Started fishing at 9am and didn't catch an eye until 11am.  Then I would catch a couple about every hour.  The best bite was around 3pm.   If you venture out, be cautious of the ice condition, courteous of other anglers, pick up your trash, and good luck.

      You know what's odd, I haven't bumped a single deer since before Thanksgiving while pheasant hunting.   I usually kick at least a couple up nearly every time I go.  I find this to be very odd because there's arguably more deer around than I've ever seen in this area right now.
