Hunting

Because of annual variations in season length, bag limits, etc., hunters should check with the Refuge manager prior to hunting on the Refuge.

Archery Deer Hunting

All areas open to firearms deer hunting on the Refuge are open to archery hunting during the State archery season.

Firearms Deer Season

The Refuge is open to deer hunting during the State proclaimed season except for the closed area around the Headquarters and the Warbler Woodland Watchable Wildlife Area.

Upland Bird Season

A late upland bird season is normally held on the Refuge in accordance with State regulations. The season opens after the close of the firearms deer season and permits hunting for ring-necked pheasants, Hungarian partridge, and sharp-tailed grouse. Season dates and species open to hunting vary from year to year, so check current Refuge regulations before hunting.

Fox Hunting

Fox hunting is permitted on the open portions of the Refuge beginning with the opening of the firearms deer season. During the deer season only those hunters with valid deer licenses and unused deer tags can take fox. Following the deer season the entire refuge is open to fox hunting. The season closes in accordance with State regulations.

CAUTION - Raccoon, coyotes, and other animals may not be hunted.

Contact Refuge headquarters for further information on hunting. License information is available through the North Dakota Game and Fish Department link on the Links page.
