Back to top Hunting Public hunting of white-tailed deer is permitted on Eastern Neck NWR on specific days that are annually designated by the refuge manager in cooperation with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. The refuge is closed to the general public on hunting days. All hunters must obtain a permit regardless of age.
Permits are non-transferrable and are selected based on a lottery drawing.
Permittees will be selected by random drawing. Both permittees and persons not selected will be notified as soon as possible after the drawing. Each person in the group must submit an application and application fee, but they should be stapled together, with the designated group leader's application first, and submitted together. Only persons possessing a refuge permit and Maryland state hunting license are authorized to be on the refuge during a hunting day. All hunters must enter and leave by state road 445.
