If you like upland your in for a treat. Also Mule deer hunting along with antelop and waterfowl. If your into coyote hunting thats pretty good there too. Gopher hunting is popular in that area. As for fishing you won't have it as good as you did in Minnesota. Your gonna have to drive alot more to find water. The hunting is as good as it gets out there. As for muskie's you hear of a person catching one by accident out of one of Missouri's tributries. I don't hear of anybody who targets them anywhere in North Dakota.

cbrooks nailed it regarding big game and upland game. I bowhunt out that way every year and there are lots of muleys and some big whitetails. As for walleyes and muskies- that'll be tougher. There are three places in the state I'm aware of for pure or hybrid fish: Sweet Briar just W of Bismarck, New John's NE of Bismarck, and Spiritwood Lake ENE of Bismarck. All of them will be a hike for you and my understanding is that all of them have a relatively low population of fish. Like cbrooks said, there are other bodies of water that occasionally produce a fish, but not with a fishable number IMO.

Good luck with the move! I'd move out there in a heartbeat, but I'm afraid it'd have to be without my wife... no chance in heck she'd ever move there.

Very little for waterfowl out that way. The oil boom has made finding housing very difficult as well. Upland and big game would be your primary options.
