Can I hunt or fish on National Wildlife Refuges?

Yes, hunting and fishing are generally allowed on National Wildlife Refuges in the United States, as these areas are managed to conserve wildlife and their habitats. However, specific rules and regulations may vary depending on the refuge and the species involved. Hunters and anglers are advised to check the specific refuge's website, contact the refuge directly, or consult the refuge's annual hunting and fishing regulations for details on season dates, bag limits, specific permits or licenses required, and any other rules and restrictions in place. Wildlife refuges often provide excellent opportunities for recreational hunting and fishing while supporting conservation efforts.
