Gove Public Domain Wildlife Area

Area News

 -Gove Public Domain is best known for the extravagant eroded bluffs and rock formations. Hiking and hunting are the primary activities on the area.

- The property is landlocked. Landowner permission is required to cross private land.

 -A diversity of both game and non-game wildlife can be seen on the Gove Public Domain. Due to its size, wildlife is easily driven off the area by light hunting pressure, so good hunting opportunities are often limited.

 -Mule and whitetail deer, dove, rabbits (jack and cottontail), and coyotes in low numbers are also found on the area.
