Sign in to contribute

DPA 275 is a central Minnesota farmland permit area in Zone 200, covering portions of Kandiyohi, Meeker, and Stearns counties — a productive agricultural landscape of corn and soybean fields interspersed with hardwood woodlots, wetlands, and scattered WMAs. Deer populations are healthy supported by abundant crop food sources, and antlerless permits are issued through the September lottery drawing. Public access is available through numerous small WMAs and county land parcels across the unit.

Terrain & elevation

Rolling agricultural landscape with corn and soybean fields, hardwood woodlots, glacial lakes, wetland potholes, and brushy draws typical of central Minnesota. Elevations are gentle with minimal relief.

Hunting pressure

moderate

Species & seasons

White-tailed deer are the primary target with above-average body weights from agricultural feed. Wild turkey are well-established throughout the farmland/woodlot mosaic. Ring-necked pheasant populations are present in grassy WMA cover and field edges. Ruffed grouse occur in brushy woodlot edges and shrubby draws. No moose or bear presence in this unit.

Highlights

Zone 200 farmland unit with strong deer density driven by row-crop agriculture. Antlerless permits distributed via September lottery (not over-the-counter). Archery hunters can take either sex statewide without a lottery permit. Kandiyohi and Stearns counties have historically used shotgun-only and rifle regulations respectively — check current county-specific firearms restrictions before hunting. Multiple small WMAs provide pockets of public access in an otherwise private-land-dominated landscape.
