Fall Hunting Forecast:

Dove; limited opportunities exist for dove hunting. Some may be taken by walking stubble fields or hunting near the trees in the creek drainage.

Upland birds; expectations are for average bird populations.

Turkey; Limited opportunities exist to harvest a turkey in the fall prior to the upland opener which generally pushes turkeys off the area.

Deer; White-tailed and occasionally mule deer are present on the area.

Spring Hunting Forecast:

Turkey; Limited opportunities exist to harvest a turkey in the spring. However, success is directly proportional to the amount of hunting pressure. As hunting pressure increases, turkeys are pushed off the area and success decreases.
