Permission needed to hunt Foote Access Area

Saratoga Game Warden Biff Burton reported that a white-tail deer was taken without permission at the Foote Public Access area north of Saratoga.

White-tail deer seasons continue through November and December in the upper Platte River Valley for the few lucky people that drew limited quota licenses. However, finding hunting access for white-tails is challenging. On Nov. 14 an employee of the 5N Ranch near Saratoga observed a hunter loading a freshly killed deer into his vehicle at the entrance to the parking area at the Foote Public Access Area. The ranch employee contacted Burton. Because the easement for the Foote Access Area only allows fishing and boating access within 50 feet of the river, permission must be obtained from the owner of the property to hunt on the Foote Access Area.
