In the thick understory of the forest, ruffed grouse find many a fallen log on which to drum out their territory and breeding condition in the spring. White-tailed deer are a common sight, leaping across the roads and fields. Forest management techniques, which benefit wildlife and produce valuable timber, are demonstrated on both tracts. What To Do Hunters can pursue white-tailed deer, grouse, turkeys, squirrels, woodcock and rabbits. There is a special area set aside for physically challenged hunters.
Trapping is also available by permit.
