Fishing and Hunting:
The forest is open to hunting and fishing in season. The important forest game birds and mammals include the following species: wild turkey, whitetailed deer and gray squirrels. Due to the fact that 96% of the forest is classified as forestland, this group of wildlife species are common throughout the forest.

Upland game birds and mammals are not as common in the forest, but do provide hunting opportunities. Low populations of eastern cottontail rabbit, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, and American woodcock can be found in recently cut-over areas, openland habitats that exist on the forest or near private agricultural lands adjacent to the forest.

Aquatic habitats located within and surrounding the forest support several species of waterfowl. Open waters include the Pocomoke River, its tributaries, and several swamps/marshes. Wood ducks and mallards are the most common species.

Hunting with rifles, handguns, shotguns, bows and muzzleloaders is permitted in all designated areas in accord with state and federal laws. Possession or use of weapons is prohibited in State Forests outside of regular open hunting season. Target shooting is prohibited. All game birds and game mammals may be hunted. Game shooting stands are limited to those of a temporary nature which can be removed or dismantled at the end of each day. The hunting season in State Forests conforms to standard hunting seasons adopted by state and federal regulations.
