I am only familiar with the area north of Bismark around Washburn and east where I hunt pheasants sometimes. I don't remembeer seeing p-dogs in that area.
I really don't can't say for certain if the private landowners charge to shoot. I would imagine that some probably do. I mostly hunt on Federal lands. I do know that some of the private landowners have also gone to poisoning dogs. As far as I know, there are not any PD's north of Bismarck.
Hey, I went to high school in Washburn.
