The refuge is open for deer hunting in accordance with state-wide seasons and regulations. The only exception to the state-wide season dates is that the refuge is NOT open for any October antlerless-only deer gun hunts. No special refuge permits are required. The refuge is located within Deer Management Unit 67A. A few of the regulations for hunters include: access is restricted to an hour before to an hour after legal hunting hours; parking is allowed in designated lots only; boats are prohibited on the refuge but may be used on the river to access the west side of the refuge; portable stands may be used but cannot be left overnight; construction or use of permanent blinds or tree stands is prohibited; no scouting, camping, or fires; foot travel only.
