2008 PLOTS Guide
(Private Land Open to Sportsmen)
Valid through Spring 2009
The annual PLOTS guide locates lands open to hunting through agreements between the Department and private landowners, as well as public lands such as wildlife management and waterfowl production areas. Printed guides will be available in early September from license vendors and county auditors located around the state. See the list of locations where PLOTS guides are available).
Note: PLOTS maps change frequently as new tracts are added and others are removed. Maps on this page are the most current available and are updated periodically to reflect recent changes.
What to do if you find a discrepancy between the PLOTS Guide and conditions on the ground? If you find an area listed as a PLOTS tract, but that is not marked with yellow triangular PLOTS signs from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, the department suggests that you err on the side of caution and avoid entering the area until you’ve checked it out with us.

| Note: Nonresidents may not hunt on lands owned or leased by the North Dakota Game and Fish Department, including State Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and Private Lands Open To Sportsmen (PLOTS), for the first week of pheasant season (October 11-17). This restriction applies to all types of hunting, not just pheasants. This restriction does not apply to lands owned or managed by other state agencies such as state school lands, federal lands such as US Fish and Wildlife Service Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs), or to private lands not enrolled in the G&F PLOTS program. |
