Carmine West
- Annual Public Hunting Permit

About this property
Oil wells still turn on this one — a hundred and seventy acres a mile west of Carmine, reached off private road 738, with ponds and small lakes scattered across it. A public hunting road runs in from the parking area.
Dove, the first split of the Central Zone season. No dogs, and nothing shot within a hundred yards of an oil well, a building or any other structure. Free-roaming pets and tame ducks live on this complex, and you should expect to meet them.
