State landsTo be determined. It is always a good practice to
contact the manager of the state park, forest, or wildlife management
area where you plan to work to be sure your work will not interfere
with their management activities or conflict with public use, including
hunting.
Prior notice
Check
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.
