In the fall hundreds
of thousands of waterfowl migrate through the area and give both
local and visiting hunters outstanding hunting opportunities.
"Devils Lake, ND is a water fowler's Mecca. The snow goose
hunting is beyond comparison...and ducks? Let me put it this
way... I can't imagine an area on the continent that's better,
and, the big lake offers the best diver duck hunting I've ever
seen." - Tony Dean, Outdoor Celebrity
Devils Lake is right in the middle of the Prairie Pot Hole
Region raising more ducks than anywhere else in the United
States and waterfowl migrate through the area by the millions.
Devils Lake is approximately 135,000 acres, with literally
hundreds of miles of flooded timber and pasture lined shore.
This habitat, combined with the abundant fresh water shrimp, is
like a bluebill magnet. The other thing that makes this place
special is that it is almost completely ignored by local
hunters. Very few North Dakota hunters consider divers a
desirable bird. Local hunters prefer field hunting for snow
geese, mallards and pintails.
Devils Lake is OPEN for Public Hunting! This should give you a
lot of security, knowing you will have a place to hunt , when
planning your trip.
