Sunflower fields will have portions of fields mowed leading up to the season. Wheat fields will be burned, mowed, or lightly disked. All managed dove areas will have mowed parking areas and mowed walking trails to the fields

The Granite Creek sunflower field has been designated as our youth-mentor field for this year.  Each adult hunting this area must have at least 1 youth age 17 or under with them who is also hunting. The field will open for youth-mentor hunting on 9/1 like all other fields.  On Monday September 9th the Granite Sunflower field will be open to all hunters for the remainder of the season.

All other dove fields at Glen Elder Wildlife Area are open for public hunting starting on September 1st.

Each of the last few years, we have established several new shrub plots and over 300 acres of new warm season grass plantings. 80+ acres of sunflower fields and about 100 acres of various food plots are also planted every year.

We spray hundreds of acres of brome grass each fall on the area to encourage early succession growth to benefit our upland bird populations.

Please be respectful the many dirt roads we have around the area. If WA and county roads are muddy-STAY OFF OF THEM!!

Our tree shearing contractor is continuing to work at several different locations on the WA. This work really improves the upland habitat. We will continue this work for the next several years.
