Guided hunts for 2013

[WillieELk78GSP]

I would like to go to north or south dekota for the 2013 pheasant hunting season, i have never done this before and would love to give it a shot but i dont know where to go, i would love some suggestions on which guide to go with or what spots are best for either of these areas.and how much does it usually run to do this out of state hunt? Thanks everyone

To not break the bank I would suggest going public. There is tons of public land out there and no matter where you go birds are around.
On their dnr website they have maps and locations of these public lands. Depending on the type of land managed there are different rules. I like the self guided hunts call me cheap. But paying a few grand to go shoot a bird isn't my kind of hunting.

Just my,.02

Willie, are you looking to go solo or with a group?

North Dakota P.L.O.T.S land (private land open to sportsmen) is not open to out of state for the first two weeks of the hunting season i believe. But if you come out after that there is a bunch of PLOTS depending on the region of the state and you will get into birds.

A nonresident must possess the following licenses:

•Fishing, Hunting, Furbearer Certificate - $2
•General Game and Habitat License - $13
•Nonresident Small Game License - $85 (good for two 7-day periods or one 14-day period). Nonresident small game and waterfowl licenses are issued only through the Department's Bismarck office, Online Services, and by calling instant licensing at 1-800-406-6409 (Note: for instant licensing on the telephone, a service charge of $4 is assessed for each transaction under $70 and $10 for transactions of $70 or more).
•More than one license may be purchased per season.
•There are no nonresident zone restrictions for small game hunting.
•** See below for sandhill crane permit details.
A Nonresident May Not Hunt G&F Lands October 13-19.
In accordance with state law, nonresidents are not allowed to hunt on Game and Fish Department wildlife management areas or conservation PLOTS (Private Land Open To Sportsmen) areas from October 13-19, 2012.

Nonresidents can change their 7 or 14 day periods for small game by calling the 1-800-406-6409 licensing number prior to the start of the period. It costs $4 per license to do so.
