Anybody hunting Prarie Chickens in MN this year? I think the applications are due by 7/25/03. I'd love to hear some good stories if anybody makes it out hunting them this year!

I put my applications in for it! Not sure if my chances are very good though. Sure would be fun.

I saw a report saying that less people have applied them the have permits, so unless there are a ton of late applicatns, it looks like the chances are good for ya.

I have also applied for this hunt and hope to be drawn. This should be a blast I know my Grandfather is really excited as he did have a chance to hunt chickens back in the Good Old Days. I have not heard how many people applid but there are only 100 licences available. I had read in Outdoor News sometime ago that they expected about 1000 applicants. Have fun.

Bird Dog,

I am not sure when the notification will be sent. I am going to make a call or 2 to see if can find out if I do I will post it here. Good luck to you and what zone did you apply for we applied in zone 420B

Thanks

Application is in. We'll see??? The way the weekend works out for the season we would be stopping to chase them on our way out to ND for the week.

Update: You can check on the DNR HSOforum to see if you were sucessful or not.All you have to do is enter your group number and D.L. number.Our group was not sucessful,maybe you will have better luck

Just checked, I didn't get drawn either.
I tried for 420A

[Norsky]

I was denied also, bummer! I'll just have to stick to the pheasants!

[Norsky]

Well it seems that the DNR's HSOforum wasn't correct when they told me I was denied for a chicken license, WE WERE ACTUALLY SUCCESSFUL!!! We just received the license permit/application in the mail. If anyone knows of someone in the 420 B permit area that has land that may allow hunting please let me know. thanks much.

[bigdog]

Anyone else get drawn for a permit?
