cobb, yes anything in nd that is not posted is legal to hunt as long as you are like 440 yards or something like that away from any inhabited building. it's mostly crop land around my area. most of the best ravines and clumps of trees that hold deer, there aint many trees around here, are posted. but if a guy can find a half harvested corn field that isn't posted, those are usually good places to get set up. you never know how many deer or what kind of deer are in those corn fields, and the rifle season is going on during the rut so bucks are moving all over the place, you don't necessarily need property that is a deer paradise to do well. I've caught decent bucks just lolly gagging around in nothing but flat chisel plowed fields.
