The Nature Conservancy. Protecting nature. Preserving life.™

The following is a list of preserves and lands the Indiana Chapter owns and manages that allow hunting during deer season. Unlike the lands managed by the Division of Fish & Wildlife, hunting on Conservancy preserves are not open to the pubic. Our hunters are licensed by the chapter and only they have permission to do. Wearing blaze orange is suggested when venturing to these areas during the hunting season.

Bow, gun and muzzleloaders are permitted throughout the season, except at Conrad Station, which is only open to bow hunting alone. Other special cases:

• Houghton Lake has 5 licenses out for hunting/trapping all legal species, so hunters are out much of the year.
• Division of Fish & Wildlife manages hunting on our land at Kankakee Sands (managed through Willow Slough FWA), NIPSCO Savanna and two tracts at Prairie Border (managed through Jasper-Pulaski FWA). They manage for hunting most legal species, so much of the year there are hunters out there as well.

Please be cautions when hiking in these areas. Learn more about Indiana's hunting and trapping season from the state's Department of Natural Resources.
