New Enrollments: Beaver and Texas Counties

CRP grassland enrolled in the OLAP, Beaver County.

5,000 acres of new Walk-in Hunting Access: Archery/Shotshell Only areas added in Beaver and Texas Counties. These new walk-in areas are predominantly CRP grassland. Hunting opportunities include pheasant, quail, deer, dove, jackrabbit, etc.

Click here to view these new walk-in areas on the online OLAP Map Directory (zoomed to Beaver and Texas counties).

Remember to click on walk-in areas to bring up more information, including access types, dates, habitat information, specific comments/instructions, and photos. This function is available when accessing maps on a computer or via the mobile app (Explorer for ArcGIS).

Reminder: Review the maps before entering the walk-in area. Get a good feel for the property boundaries, topography, changes in land use (farming or ranching), etc.

Boundaries may consist of a change from grassland to agriculture, a mowed strip (example pictured), etc. Walk-in areas in the panhandle may not have fences for OLAP boundary signs, and it's the responsibility of hunters to know their location and the walk-in area's boundaries.

No recent removals.

No temporary closings.
