  • These hunts open only outside National Forest Boundary within one mile of private fields on which cultivated corps are currently growing.

State, private and other lands within the National Forest Boundary are not open to hunting during this season. (Please refer to a U.S. Forest Service travel plan map for the location of this boundary.) "Private fields on which cultivated crops are currently growing" is defined as: fields on which soil has been used or broken up for the raising of crops, and artificially irrigated pasture. "Currently" means during the current or most recent growing season. Lands enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or other set-aside farm programs are specifically excluded.

Near cultivated fields outside National Forest Boundary. Landowner Permission Required see page 109 of the Big Game Seasons and Rules Booklet).
