From the Corps!
The US Army Corps of Engineers manages approximately
17,750 acres of land open to Public Hunting. Land
management practices such as prescribed burning,
tree and grass planting, food plot establishment
and timber stand improvement are performed to
enhance wildlife habitat. One of the Corps' most
important wildlife management tools is the agricultural
lease program. Tracts of public land are leased
to farmers who incorporate specific wildlife management
practices into their farming operation. |
|
|
|
All
Federal and state hunting regulatons are
enforced. The Corps and Tall Tales ask that
you please consider sportsmanship and safety
at all times.
|
 |
|
Public
access is available to a majority of these lands,
but vehicles are restricted to existing roads. Nearly
all Federally owned land is open to hunting, with
the exception of the developed parks and administration
areas. The Corps encourages all hunters to visit
the Project Office for further information and guidance. |

Hunting
Blinds
The Corps of Engineers issues permits to construct
permanent waterfowl blinds at designated sites
surrounding Harlan County Lake. Permittes may
construct a permanent blind and leave decoys in
designated areas for hunting during regular seasons.
Harlan County Lake's annual waterfowl blind drawing
is held the first Sunday after Labor Day. Blinds
are issued on a lottery basis. The Corps
of Engineers asks that you practice hunter safety
at all time. |

Bobcats
Between the years 1990-2001 the increase in bobcats in
Nebraska was on a sharp rise with larger populations found
in the south and southeastern parts of the state. Harlan
county and its two neighboring
counties all combined had
from 50 - 70 bobcats turned in during the 2000 - 2001
season. Nebraska had 640 bobcats taken by either
trapping or hunting that year.
Mountain
Lions
Although mountain lion sightings have been confirmed in
this part of the state, most are seen in the panhandle
of Nebraska and the far northwestern part of the state
close to the Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota borders.
More research is being done with regard to bobcat and
mountain lion populations in NE. Research findings will
be posted on this site! Today's date: 3/31/2007 |
