Portions of WMA close for Oct. 20 youth hunt

Portions of Clear Creek Wildlife Management Area near Lewellen will be closed to access for the safety of the public between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Mountain time Oct. 20 for a youth hunt.

The areas of closure include all of the hunting blinds, the Special Hunting Area, and everything a half mile west of the Special Hunting Area. The rest of Clear Creek WMA will remain open to the public.

Twenty-five youth ages 11 to 15 will be hunting the WMA as part of the Ash Hollow Youth Mentored Waterfowl Hunt, hosted by Nebraska Game and Parks Commission; its conservation officers lead students in education stations on firearm safety, decoy placement, zones of fire, blind safety, duck calling, trap shooting, dog demonstration, boating skills and safety, and waterfowl identification.

Those wishing to hunt waterfowl at the WMA on Oct. 20 are encouraged to use the Public Access Atlas to find alternative hunt locations. Find the atlas at OutdoorNebraska.gov/guides-maps/public-access-atlas.
