The Winamac Fish and Wildlife Area, in northern Pulaski County, along U.S.-35, offers tremendous opportunities for hunting deer, wild turkey, rabbit, quail, squirrel, woodcock, dove, and furbearers. Waterfowl hunting is offered, but is limited due to the small amount of wetlands, and opportunities exists for pheasant, quail and dove hunting. Wetland trapping is always permitted. Two two-acre ponds are home to bluegill, channel catfish, and largemouth bass waiting to challenge master anglers and recreational fishers alike.
Northwestern Pulaski County’s Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area is home to the Ryan Ditch (shoreline fishing), two gravel pits with boat ramps, and numerous small ponds to provide plenty of diversity as you seek the catch of the day — or just a day out of the office, communing with nature. Deer, quail, rabbit, squirrel, snipe, dove, sora rails, woodcock, waterfowl and wild turkey all inhabit the area, challenging mature marksmen and first-timers alike.
Northern Pulaski County is also home to the South Farm Hunt Club. S.F.H.C. offers the best realistic and challenging upland bird hunting in the area, providing eight months of pheasant, chukar, and quail hunting and dog training opportunities; dove hunting is also allowed in season. This five-year-old preserve ground comprises 240 acres, including 90-plus acres managed in specialized cover for upland birds surrounding 37 acres of woodland and bordered by another 50 plus acres of CRP ground. S.F.H.C. is open seven days per week from 1 September through 30 April. Utilization of the separate dog-training area is permitted all year. S.F.H.C. is open to everyone; members receive perks. Visitors can bring their own dogs or reserve a guided hunt. S.F.H.C is located on the west side of Indiana 39 across just down the road from Kersting’s Cycle Center and Museum.
