Just browsing around and saw this in last week’s edition of the Savannah Daily News. Looks like the time to get your applications in for limited entry hunts on the NWRs and other special hunt areas is coming fast.
Although the deer hunting season is still a couple of months away, those who plan to participate in the area’s National Wildlife Refuge-managed archery and gun hunts can start marking their calendars. Jane Griess, manager of the Savannah Coastal Refuges (SCR), which includes Blackbeard Island, Harris Neck, Wassaw Island, Pinckney Island and the Savannah National Widlife Refuges, has released the hunt dates for each location.
As in past years, both quota (limited number selected by a drawing) and non-quota hunts are on the schedule, depending on the specific refuge area. Depending on the location, the allowable game is deer, feral hog, squirrel, turkey and waterfowl.
Applications for quota hunts are available at each refuge Web site – www.fws.gov/blackbeardisland; www.fws.gov/harrisneck; www.fws.gov/savannah; www.fws.gov/pinckneyisland; and www.fws.gov/wassaw.
Don’t miss it!
As I remember the Hog and Deer hunting were always very good on the NWR,s of both Florida and Georgia.
It has been a few years and I would like to find the time to get back to my old stompin’ grounds.
Is it still as good as I remember it to be?
