Below: finding owners on the Sibley County map, public ground in and near the county, asking permission the right way, and where Minnesota hunting rules are published.
How to use the Sibley County hunting map
On the Sibley County ArcGIS parcel map, scan the wooded draws and creek bottoms near Gibbon and click each tract you like; the record lists the owner of record and mailing address. Note which Sibley County tracts touch a road; landlocked ground near Rush River needs the owner's route in, not just permission.
