Hunting on GHRA Properties
Hunters are invited to utilize the rich habitat found on all GHRA fee title parcels. Whether searching for spring turkeys or tracking whitetailed deer in fall, these properties have a wealth of opportunities to offer. To preserve a quality hunting experience for yourself and others we ask that you follow common hunting etiquette. Avoid share-cropped areas until after they are harvested. These areas are planted by neighboring farmers who assist in the preparation, planting and maintenance of these lands in exchange for cropping rights. Please do not drive or park your vehicle on access lanes, in front of gates, or into the fields. This destroys habitat and blocks access by sharecroppers and DNR personnel that may need access to the site while you are on the property. Driveways, and/or parking lots are provided on the majority of the properties for your use. Be aware of other users on the property. A general safety practice is only two hunters per 40 acres. Also, watch for hikers and birdwatchers that may not be wearing blaze orange. Please review the property map located by each main access point to familiarize yourself with the property boundaries and neighboring buildings. Trespassing is illegal, and you could be fined up to $1000 for entering a private property without the landowner’s permission. Finally, familiarize yourself with the current hunting regulations and GHRA property rules. By following these guidelines and rules as well as respecting other property users, you can create an enjoyable atmosphere and experience for yourself and others.
