Hey fowlplay, welcome to the site and North Dakota.
You probably will do almost all of your hunting on private land. The best advice I can give is to be very careful of the roads you choose. A lot of them are very muddy and landowners don't like people tearing them up. Most landowners will let you on in the spring, I don't have any bad experiences in the last 5 years.
At this moment in time, I'd say Northern North Dakota has the best snowline in the whole flyway (with a month to go of course), so you might be in snow goose paradise for up to 3-4 weeks if the weather plays out right. The amount of waterfowl on the snowline can be mind boggling...so I recommend bringing a camera as well.
