When you can go

Area restrictions
Fox squirrels are prohibited. Avoid sensitive-habitat closures. Neighboring state forest access has different permit requirements.
Plan with the official agency
The property is open to ordinary hunting; its 2026–2027 season sheet lists squirrel seasons without a draw requirement.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
Agency sources reviewed 2026-10-07. Public entry is arranged with the agency, with no Back40 booking fee.
