Pheasant Hunting in Dakota/Scott County?

[WildFan10]

I am new to pheasant hunting this year. I am from the south metro and am looking for some public land to hunt in Dakota County. Does anyone know of decent spot to check out this weekend? I know there is a WMA just outside of Farmington I was thinking about hunting. Anyone know anything about this place or any other places a new hunter could try for a couple of hours? Thanks.

If you have Google Earth there is an overlay at the DNR HSOforum for all the WMA's in the state.

Wildfan...I also replied to you, but in your similar posting in the 'hunting' section... It should help.

Thanks for the information guys, I checked out your replies in the other forums and they should help. I have heard there is plenty of public land around to hunt, just need to get out there and find it. I imagine this weekend might be a bad weekend to be in the fields with all the deer hunters out?

Wait till deer season is over.

Long wait in zone 3. Take a look at the map and find zone 4 areas and hunt weekdays.

December will be good if we get a little snow.

If you want some maps just go tp the dnr sight they have allmost all of the public land maps and directions to them there maps are kind of nice they show what they are made up of grass,trees, water just study then . also look for that have corn on the edge of them or they have foodplots in them .I hunt only state land and i have had days where i have been kicking up 20 bird days.
