WTU Continues Support of the Hay Creek-Hoffman Lake Wildlife Area

The partnership began nearly two decades ago and with a recent $5,000 grant, Whitetails Unlimited has contributed over $50,000 to the Hay Creek-Hoffman Lake Wildlife Area. This Wisconsin DNR Wildlife Area is a 13,800-acre property located 8 miles northwest of Park Falls in Ashland and Iron counties. The property is heavily timbered with aspen, northern hardwoods, and lowland conifer and continues to offer numerous recreational opportunities to the general public. In 1946, this project was initiated as part of the state's "deer yard" acquisition program. Today, it is primarily managed for white-tailed deer, ruffed grouse, woodcock, and black bear.

The area also has a vast network of gated hunter walking trails and various wildlife openings. In addition to hunting and trapping activities, there are also great berry picking, off-trail, snowshoeing, birding and wildlife watching opportunities. The property also offers a public target range with 50- and 100-yard targets. Whitetails Unlimited offers an annual youth event at the target range.
