In support of the resource management goals and
objectives for the area and to provide a quality experience for all
area users, the following recreation activities are allowed.
Hunting of waterfowl and white-tailed deer occurs in the fall and
winter. Water levels play an important role in deer population
dynamics and have a major influence on deer hunting opportunities
each year. The Commission conducts annual deer recruitment and
population index surveys, and manages the deer population on a
sustained-yield basis by recommending annual harvests based on the
population index.
The sloughs in the northeast portions of the area
are popular with waterfowl hunters.
Fishing
The canals surrounding the area support many
species of game fish including largemouth bass, bluegill and other
species of sunfish, as well as catfish and several species of
exotic fishes. In addition, the canal system serves as refuge for
smaller fish species during periods of severe drought. These forage
fish are an important part of the prey base for many species of
wading birds. Reference the map of Holey Land WMA 
to locate boat ramp(s). Fishing
