Mined Land Wildlife Area, Columbus, Kansas

Wildlife areas are managed specifically for wildlife and hunting opportunities, so camping is limited. Many wildlife areas are located near state parks, where excellent camping facilities are available. Some remote wildlife areas offer primitive camping in designated areas, but it’s a good idea to check with the area Wildlife and Parks office for more specific camping information.

Some wildlife areas offer special hunts. These special hunts may limit the number of hunters on the area on a given day through a random drawing, or they may provide youth and other first- time hunters with a quality experience. Check with the local regional or wildlife area offices for information about special hunt options. A brochure listing special hunts along with an application is available.
