Well, received this email with the changes for the upcoming year for the Kank...
Dear survey participant,
Kankakee Fish & Wildlife Area (FWA) thanks everyone who filled out the 2021 survey. Having compiled and reviewed all feedback, we will be making the following changes for the 2022 season per your responses:
1. We will lower the water levels for optimal waterfowl range. This will be 18 inches or less around the blinds with a few exceptions. Hunters may not be able to boat to all the blinds and will need to walk in shallower spots.
2. We will rotate the corn units every three days on each side, so the east corn unit and the west corn unit will be hunted on different days. This allows every weekend to have at least one corn day.
3. Hunting on corn units will be allowed from ½ hour after sunrise to noon local time (CT). The gate opens at sunrise.
4. The number of reservation days is dropping to eight. Those days will be determined later.
5. The number of selected reservations is dropping to six.
6. To allow hunters the chance to play the wind in the Marsh units, hunting will be allowed within 30 yards of the current blind only in the second and third units of 10-mile Road. This policy may be revoked during any part of the season if we have problems with hunters going beyond their boundaries or receive other complaints.
We hope to continue to work together to provide a better hunting opportunity. If you have questions or would like to discuss anything about Kankakee FWA, please call 574-896-3522.
Thank you,
Kankakee FWA
