Deer Hunting at Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge

Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge is one of over 547 national wildlife refuges. The primary objective of a refuge is to provide habitat for the conservation and protection of all species of wildlife. The harvest of animals is one tool used to manage wildlife populations at a level compatible with the environment, provide wildlife oriented recreational opportunities, and permit the use of a valuable renewable resource.
