Pat Mayse Lake Hunting

Pat Mayse Lake provides excellent opportunities for fishing and hunting. These lands are managed for upland game and whitetail deer and are open to the public as a public hunting area. The game species present include deer, fox squirrel, gray squirrel, bobwhite quail, morning dove, cottontail rabbit, raccoon, turkey, and fox.

Furbearers such as opossum, beaver, mink, skunk, and nutria are also present.

The lake also provides resting and feeding habitat for migratory waterfowl. A few miles north of the project area are the famed Red River Bottoms where waterfowl congregate in great numbers.
