Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area

The Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area is located in East Texas, United States, 21 miles from Palestine, Texas. The area covers and protects post oak savannah. The area is actively managed and permits hunting from mid-October through mid-March. Catfish Creek runs through the area.
Originally named the Derden Wildlife Management Area, it was renamed in 1952 after Gus A. Engeling, the first game warden assigned to the area, who was shot and killed by a poacher on December 13, 1951.
