HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES NEAR DEEPWATER BAY B&B
The Deepwater Bay Bed & Breakfast is located in the heart of North Dakota's prairie pothole region, and world famous hunting is right outside our door. Hunting opportunities are varied, beginning in early September with the deer and antelope bow season. Mid-September brings the opening of the sharptail grouse and Hungarian partridge season. Waterfowl season opens near October first, and pheasant season follows soon after. The deer bow season opens the first of September and rifle hunting season begins the second weekend in November. Most of the deer in the photo section were taken within walking distance of the ranch house. Hunting is available both on and off the reservation, and your host, Arlen Gilbertson, has both state and tribal resident and non-resident hunting licenses available. Contact us now to reserve your spot for next season!
