Department of Natural Resources land with ease through the Fields &
Forest Lands Interactive Gamebird Hunting Tool. For more information,
search the DNR website dnr.wi.gov for keyword "FFLIGHT."

FFLIGHT was designed to help upland gamebird hunters locate cover
suitable for ruffed grouse and woodcock, managed dove fields and
properties stocked with game farm pheasants.
The tool allows hunters to quickly locate: cover suitable for ruffed
grouse and woodcock; fields managed for mourning doves; and properties
stocked with pheasants by the DNR.
