- These hunts open only outside National Forest Boundary within one mile of private fields on which cultivated corps are currently growing. The National Forest Boundary is a legislatively set boundary -- it is not necessarily the boundary of the Forest Service property. 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.
Motorized Hunting Rule applies in Unit 47.
