My sister just moved to Bismark, ND and I want to do some deer hunting way up there. She raves about how beautiful it is, and I would really like to find someone that would be willing to guide me through some public land on a buck hunt. When I say guide I just mean show me an area that i would have a chance at a buck. Nothing special or asking too much.

This would be a next year trip. Any help would be great.

Be careful when asking innocent questions like this,the F&G departments in some states go to great lengths to entrap people who have no idea they are breaking the law with elaborate operations like posing as a unlicensed guide looking to "help" hunters,your best bet would be to have your sister introduce you to some of her new friends who hunt,Im sure it wouldnt take long to find someone who would be willing to show you around,there is tons of public land up there and tons of deer bolth WT and MD.

Thanks for the tip. I had no idea it was against the law. Good idea, I'll put my sister on the job as soon as possible. Ive never killed any out of state game and am looking to add something to the wall of fame.

Texas8point- No worries on deer hunting in ND. I spent my first 23 years in North Dakota and hunt it regularily. Go to ND game and Fish website and ask for the plots land guide book. This is public land open to all walk in hunters. There are thousands of acres each year put into the plots program. Look toward the east of Bismark about 60 miles where there is less posted land and less commercial hunting programs.
