Deer and pheasant are common sights. Waterfowl stop on their migrations and a small Canada goose flock make the area home. Management continually seeks to enhance quality. Deer populations cycle with habitat and hunter harvest. Most deer are whitetails with a few mule deer in the area.
Turkey numbers are currently low due to habitat loss caused by flooding.
Pheasant populations fluctuate yearly with the most hunting pressure during the season opener. Quail numbers are generally fair. In some areas vegetation is heavy and can be difficult to walk through. Doves are plentiful until cold weather moves in. Sunflower fields are the best hunting.
