Prior noticeCheck
permit conditions. Even if not expressly required to do so, you should
always contact the manager of that particular state land unit or with
the owner of private land before your arrival. You want to be aware of
the hunting seasons, and, of course want to be sure that your
activities will not interfere with the activities of that park,
wildlife management area, or other state land unit, and that your
activities will not adversely affect public use of the land or with the
activities of private landowners.
