Never actually hunted UN nd. I do however work in nd on the eastern border and live in Western mn. First the bad that came out today: 65,300 deer gun licenses will be available this year, down 42% from last year, lowest since '88. The most ever licenses available in nd history was 140,000 some in '98. Remember that nd g and f has the goal of a success rate around 75%. Last year Sr was52%. What I gather is that a lot of nd deer hunters spend good time doing a variation of deer drives, spot and stalk and road hunting.better put: driving the roads looking for a promising spot, glossing and if there is something you want, you go get it. I'm sure they stand hunt too, but it is so wide open out there that it seems you would want to cover ground. combo? Should be able to set up pheasant or duck or goose hunt to go with deer hunting pretty easy. The look at a duck or pheasant area, and then figure out the type of deer hunt to do in that region..I'm sure nd has some hot spots, for deer, but they will likely be very close to or in a bird area...and I'm sure there are no regions in nd that you could go without a reasonable chance at a deer, long as you hunt it right. This kind of trip sounds fun to me...good luck
