Statewide.No dedicated MN DNR woodcock landing page exists (URL returns 404) -- season data drawn from the general small-game page and the statewide regulations PDF, both of which agree exactly. Shooting hours 1/2 hour before sunrise to sunset. HIP certification required (no federal/state waterfowl stamp required).
No MN-specific standalone forecast; MN participates in the federal Singing-Ground Survey. Only the federal USFWS American Woodcock Population Status report applies, and it has not published a 2026 edition as of 2026-08-19 (confirmed via direct fetch and a fresh search: no 2026 edition on FWS's report-collection page).
