Attention Hunters and Recreationists
Boundaries for Hunting Areas (HA’s) 15, 16, and 17 have changed!
New hunting area maps are available under the Maps tab in the header bar. If you use Avenza, please make sure to download a new map prior to using these areas to ensure that you are in the correct area. FLW ITAM in coordination with FLW Natural Resources Branch jointly made changes to maneuver area and hunting area boundaries to increase training and recreational opportunities. Aerial firing activities on Cannon range required closing of Hunting Areas 17 and 15 to all activities due to the Zone of potential projectile impacts. The impacted areas of HA 15 were moved into HA 17 and some of non-impacted areas of HA17 were moved into HA16 (see attached map). The net effect is HA 15 and HA 16 can now be opened to recreation when Cannon Range is active.
Changes have been made to HA 15, 16, and 17 boundaries. For the latest maps check out the hunting maps page or click here.
