The Corps of Engineers at Clinton Lake will hold its third annual special hunt at Bloomington Park during the entire month of November.

Hunters’ names are drawn from a pool of applications to hunt at an assigned area. Hunters are required to carry a special permit issued by the Corps and follow all Kansas statutes.

Normally, hunting is not permitted in park areas at Clinton Lake.

“This is a great way of managing the deer population in the park,” Eric Patterson, one of last year’s participants, said.

One change this year will be the requirement that all hunters purchase a whitetail antlerless deer game tag or permit in addition to their required whitetail either sex permit.

The areas included in the hunt are not managed by Wildlife and Parks so a whitetail antlerless deer game tag may be purchased and used for this hunt.

Interested hunters can call the Corps at 843-7665 or e-mail to clinton@usace.army.mil and request an application. The application deadline is Oct. 2.
