Minnesota Deer Unit 679

Sightings, hotspots, and hunt insights for Minnesota Game Management Unit 679.

Minnesota's Permit Area 679 sits in the Driftless Area, a pocket of land the glaciers bypassed, leaving steep limestone bluffs and deeply incised coulees that climb 500 to 600 vertical feet from the Root and Whitewater river bottoms (near 650 feet) up to corn and soybean ridgetops cresting around 1,300 feet. Deer hunters here learn to read white oak mast, ag-edge transitions, and cold karst spring seeps that hold whitetails through drought and freeze-up. Our pack covers Unit Overview and Topography, Vegetation and Hydrology, Seasonal Expectations, Logistics and Access, plus a one-page Essential Recon summary. Study the unit on our interactive map, then export the points you choose to onX or your favorite hunting map.

How this data was collected

Data Hunt Guide aggregates publicly available sighting reports from across the web (social media, hunting forums, harvest reports, and trail-camera shares) and uses a proprietary algorithm to identify high-activity zones (hotspots) within each unit. Our team verifies coordinates manually before publication.
