Why that unit specifically? Just curious but not much public land the way it looks, I suggest getting out and scout and knock on doors.Hello, would anyone possibly know of any farmers to let a guy hunt on in the 3b3 section or know of public land to hunt on in that section? Just moved from Minnesota so new to the area.
Thanks,
There is a WMA south of washburn off River road before you get to 83. It's pretty good size & you need to walk a bit to get to it which keeps the lazy hunters out.

Was going to hunt on a coworkers land, but not going to work out now. This is the unit I was drawn for.
Hey Bam, welcome to ND, I am not going to sugar coat this, that is a tough unit to access land and there is not a lot of public land. Below is a link to the plots system, this is a mapping system showing land that can be accessed such as PLOTS and WMA. you will have to figure the unit boundaries and then look in that area on the plots. There are two areas of red on that unit Smiths Grove and Arroda lakes WMA's they are open to public hunting but do also have some pressure on them during season. If you are willing to put in some ground work, there are deer taken off them but I can tell you if you are looking for a trophy buck you are in for a tough time, if looking for a doe or meat buck, some work will probably complete that. A little scouting of these areas may help a lot. Other option is to try knocking on some doors and see what happens but not going to lie to you this is a tight unit for access.

So by just moved here you meant 8 months ago?Applied as a resident.
Or, you know, take up archery or something. I'm just spitballing hereThis is the reason why many guys apply for the hard to draw units

It does you no good to have a archery, rifle, or muzzy tag if you don't have a place to hunt.

Says the guy who wants a one tag system so there are more hunters each year.[/QUOTE
same amount of tags = same amount of hunter just nobody gets to double up
the bow hunters would still have their bow only tag if they choose to they just couldn't have a rifle tag. the amount of rifle hunters wouldn't change you just wouldn't have guys doing both, this would have minimum changes to the overall deer harvestMore deer die everyone gets to use a rifle.
