waterfowl, and fishing tours. Contact Red Oak Outfitters in Albion, IN for more information or to book your hunt.

Hunting Areas In Noble County
The
Tri-County Fish & Wildlife Area straddles the Noble and
Kosciusko County lines on the west side of Noble County.
Designated as a Public Hunting Area by the Indiana Dept. of
Natural Resources, hunters are strongly encouraged to contact the
facility at 574-834-4461 for the latest information on licenses
and regulations, as well as season dates.
Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area was established in 1951. By 1953, formal management of the property was underway. In 1963, a dam was constructed at the outlet of six natural lakes, creating Flatbelly Marsh. This wetland is an important area for migratory waterfowl, furbearers, shorebirds and fish. Most revenues used in land acquisition, development, operation and maintenance of Tri-County Fish and Wildlife Area are derived from the sale of hunting, fishing and trapping licenses. Funds are also received from the federal Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson programs to aid fish and wildlife restoration. These funds are derived from taxes levied on sport hunting and fishing equipment. Indiana hunters and fishermen are proud to provide this property for the enjoyment of all people.

from DNR:
Because DNR Web-generated turkey licenses do not include a turkey
tag, the DNR has adopted a rule allowing turkey hunters to tag
wild turkeys with a piece of paper indicating the month and day of
the kill and the name and address of the hunter taking the turkey.
A sample turkey leg tag
is available at: [ Turkey PDF ]
