Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge Deer Hunt

Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge

Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, located 25 miles north of Macon, Georgia, was established in 1939 with the purpose of providing a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other native wildlife. Today the refuge consists of 34,000 acres of managed upland pine and pine-hardwood forest. Over 200 species of birds occur on the refuge including the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. Piedmont NWR provides opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors!
