You are talking about Dickinson County. The county seat is Spirit Lake. There are several other towns all real close together. I am not from there but I did live 30 miles east of there in Estherville there are a lot of public hunting areas around there. To my knowledge the bird population is usually pretty good. I hope your hunt is Scheduled for the first part of the Month as the season ends on January 10th.

Good luck to you!
