Moved from SC, Looking for Hunting land

[4WheelGobbler]

Hey yall,
 Just moved here from South Carolina to the metro area. I am looking to lease some land for Deer season up to about an hour from the St. Paul area. I am experienced hunter and looking for anywhere from 10-40 or so acres to Bow Hunt or even possible to join a hunt club (I dont know if yall have those here or not). It can be all wooded or it can be partly wooded and have some openings. Looking to pay anywhere from 300-600$ for the season. a Major plus to the land is if I could Turkey hunt and bird hunt as well but not necessary. I am big on looking for Mature Dominant Bucks so if your looking for managment I am your guy.
 Thanks for your help,
4WheelGobbler

welcome to the area. you may want to check out the mn dnr.. they have free maps of public land and up to an hour drive can get you into some very good spots.

Welcome to Minnesota, and good luck for the coming season.  Unfortunately, I know of no leases available in my area. (South Metro)  There's lots of public hunting areas, but they do get hit pretty hard.  The crowds won't be quite as big the further you get out from the cities.  The closest State Forest to the cities is probably chengwatana SF up in the Princeton area.
