Hunting of all kinds is plentiful in Western Minnesota. 62,000 acres of managed wetland, woodland and prairie are available to the hunting enthusiast. These Wildlife Management Areas offer an abundance of duck, pheasant, deer and goose hunting. |
|
The area’s best known attraction is the Canadian goose. Birdwatchers and
hunters alike delight in the immense flocks that stop on their way south.
The geese that stop over on their migration to our Prairie Waters region are
part of the eastern prairie population of Canadian geese. They nest in
northern Manitoba along the western shore of Hudson Bay and migrate to
Manitoba, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri.
According to DNR statistics, Minnesota has become one of the top states for the harvest of Canadian geese. Minnesota takes about one third of the allowed EPP goose harvest, 85% of which is taken in west central Minnesota. In Lac qui Parle, west and northwest goose zones, approximately 30,000 birds are taken annually. |
|
| Lac qui Parle is unique in that it offer an abundance of both public and private hunting opportunities. This allows hunters at any level of experience the chance for great hunting. Maps of the private and public hunting blinds are listed below. For further information, contact the Lac qui Parle Wildlife Management Area at 320-734-4451 |

Deer hunting in Western Minnesota has always been popular. Black- powder hunting has made a big comeback in this part of the state. Bow hunting has also increased in numbers. The hunters are looking for more of a challenge in these two forms of deer hunting. The pheasant population in the Prairie Waters region had seen an increase in the past few years but with the hard winter of 1997, a slight decrease resulted. There are, however, large numbers of pheasants in our six county region. |
