Dakota county bowhunting

[Crow Hunter]

I am looking for places close to home to bowhunt deer- is anyone familiar with Gores pool WMA? Is there places to walk in and hunt there, or do you need a canoe? Other public places to hunt around the area? I have not had success getting on private land, at least not yet. Thanks for any information.

I'd also like to know if anybody has info on this area! I guess we could call the DNR.

Good luck to you fellas!!
If anyone does have any land in dakota county you sure won't hear about it.
I have a very small private piece about 10 acres. I have a buddy that has over 75 and he won't even tell me what city its in!! I have know this guy for over 15yrs
But I wouldn't tell him my spot either so... GOOD LUCK

i duck hunt in gores pool. I have also deer hunted in that area as well. You can walk in at several points but for a lot of it you should have a canoe. A lot of people walk the railroad tracks until they hit land then go in from there. I'm not sure if that is legal but a lot of guys do it. there is one group of deer hunters that does very well out there. I belive they hunt the second gun season. they stand hunt in the morning and then drive the various islands.
