About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedDPA 107 lies in Koochiching County in the Zone 100 northern forest, centered around Littlefork and bordered to the north by Voyageurs National Park. Covering 472 square miles of boreal forest dominated by black spruce, tamarack, aspen, and northern white cedar, this remote area offers deer hunting with very low antlerless permit availability — only 25 lottery tags issued annually — making most hunters bucks-only in practice. Hunting pressure runs moderate at roughly 4.7 firearms hunters per square mile, but the remote terrain means mature bucks and low competition away from opener weekend.
