Hunting Reservations
Get Familiar with Your Hunting Properties
Check the conditions report for the properties and review the specific property regulations.
Review Property Regulations Carefully
Read all property regulations to understand what is or isn’t allowed. For example, some properties are limited to migratory bird hunting only – pheasants and pigeons do not fall under the definition of migratory birds. Some properties allow deer hunting any day but limit waterfowl days.
Please refer to the Big Game, Small Game and Waterfowl, Fishing, and Recreational Lands brochures, or the Wildlife Regulations for individual property regulations and season date information BEFORE making a reservation.
