Hunting
Willapa
National Wildlife Refuge provides opportunities for both big game and
waterfowl hunters. Archery hunters interested in a remote hunting experience
find Long Island a challenging place to pursue Roosevelt elk, black-tailed
deer, black bear, and both ruffed and blue grouse. A refuge hunting permit
is required to hunt on Long Island but there is no fee for the permit.
Many people who hunt on Long Island prefer to camp
overnight since tides can make travel to and from the island challenging.
Most of the refuge lands on the mainland between Bear River and Teal Slough
are open for those interested in hunting Roosevelt elk or black-tailed
deer using either modern firearms, muzzleloaders, or archery.
For
those interested in hunting waterfowl, the Lewis Unit and portions of
the Leadbetter Unit are open to walk-in duck and goose hunting. The Riekkola
Unit is open to goose hunting only from blinds. Blind selection is done
by lottery early the morning of each hunt. There is a small fee for use
of the blinds. Funds from the fee go to help maintain the blinds. Although
dogs are normally not permitted on the refuge, they are allowed when actively
engaged in hunting waterfowl.
Please contact Refuge Headquarters for the refuge's complete hunting rules and regulations. Or download it here.
