Lack of public land birds. Recommendation for out of state permits

My nephew has a hookup on some private ground but im pretty sure they shoot crows and cow birds to fill their limit.

No need to leave right away. Any public land in Codington County is pretty much guaranteed limits. Once that gets boring & you're wanting a challenge, I'd try for some of them famous bluebacks in Kansas. Or extreme eastern Montana.

If you end up going the Montana route, try around Hilger, that place is lousy with birds. Just don't piss off the ranchers by dumping mud behind the barn, shooting a pet turkey, or asking their daughter on a date.

Rumor has it the Iowa farmers aren't fans of it, even though it is legal?
In Minnesota, it depends on the municipality. Without knowing the local property laws, there would be a risk of trespassing. You can shoot from the road (for non-big game, and on non-interstate roads) so you could always wait for them to fly over. Public land ditches are okay too.
If someone in the know could publish which Minnesota towns/counties allow for it, that would be great!
