The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Center Hill Lake would like to remind everyone to remove all personal hunting equipment from Corps property. There has been an increase in hunting equipment being left year-round or abandoned on public property, for example tree stands, hunting blinds, etc.

In an effort to increase every outdoorsmen’s experience on Center Hill Lake, the Corps would like to ask everyone who has left or abandoned hunting equipment on public property from previous hunting seasons to remove it. If hunting equipment is reported or found by the Resource Management staff, the equipment will be impounded in accordance with Title 36 CFR Section 327.2.

If any hunting equipment is left on TWRA managed Edgar Evins Wildlife Management Area, TWRA’s guidelines regarding hunting equipment on WMAs applies.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wishes to promote all safe and legal hunting on public property but the amount of hunting equipment being left in the woods after each season has grown and deters new hunters from hunting an area on Center Hill Lake. If you or someone you know has abandoned hunting equipment located on public property around Center Hill Lake, please help to remove this abandoned property for the enjoyment of every outdoorsmen for years to come.
