News & Reports
***REMINDER: All feeders must be out of the Training Areas by 1 February 2025. It is important to get them out as soon as possible, since we are unable to forecast when a Training Area may be closed. Consideration will be given regarding TA’s that have been closed from 7 Jan through 31 Jan and beyond. Hunters are responsible for removing feeders as soon as the area is open for recreational access. Hunters are responsible for monitoring access availability and utilizing first available opportunity. Feeders must be removed within 2 days of the area opening.***
