Dunn Forest general any legal weapon deer hunt begins Saturday, October 2nd

Heads up! The Dunn Forest general any legal weapon deer hunt begins Saturday, October 2nd. This hunt will last until November 5th with an extended youth weekend occurring on November 6th and 7th. 

You may or may not see hunters while you are out on the Dunn Forest over the next month.  Check out our recent newsletter article on hunter and non-hunter safety during hunting season. 

Here is a map of the area where hunting is allowed. Click to learn more about hunts offered on the Dunn Forest. 

And a couple quick notes about Dunn Forest parking: 

  • Please only park and access the Dunn Forest from the 100, 200, 300, or 400 gates
    • This rule applies to hunters and non-hunters! Please do not park and access the Dunn Forest from the 000 gate or on any other property adjacent to the Forest without the landowner's permission. (Map)
    • We recently completed two harvests along Tampico Road which resulted in new access points into the Forest. It can be tempting to park in these areas. We put up barriers and signs indicating that these are no-parking zones.
  • Help be our eyes and ears: if you see folks parking or accessing the forest illegally, write down the license plate, time, and location, and contact us.

Happy October.
