Coyote Bend Wildlife Management Area

Discover Coyote Bend Wildlife Management Area in Blairsburg

Coyote Bend Wildlife Management Area was donated in 1993 by Farmer's National Bank. The 26.56 acres is comprised of grassland, food plot, and black walnut and white pine tree planting. Public hunting is allowed. Hunters can find pheasant, deer, rabbit, partridge and yes, even coyotes.  

Hunters are required to use, and can possess, only non-toxic shot while hunting migratory game birds, resident game birds, game animals or furbearers (excluding deer and wild turkey) on all land owned or managed by the Hamilton County Conservation Board.

This area has a butterfly planting, as it is in the migration path of Monarchs.

The current sunflower food plot is one of 16 plots owned by Hamilton County Conservation. Food plots are created to help feed the wildlife over the winter. Over the years we have had corn and sorghum.

Neighboring farmers have done the tillage, planting, and mowing. They recently helped plant wildflower seeds just south of the sunflower field, hoping to get native plants re-established. They are sparse, but their starting to take hold.

In addition to the help of neighboring farmers, United Coop and the local Pheasants Forever have donated seed and fertilizer for the food plots.

Everything benefits from the food plots and habitat improvement, songbirds, pollinators, wildlife and humans.
