Hunting in Delaware



The DNREC Division of Fish and Wildlife manages 19 public wildlife areas; approximately 68,000 acres of land. In addition to providing habitat for a variety of wildlife, these lands provide hunting and other outdoor recreational opportunities. Much of this land, and many acres of private land, provide hunting during a number of seasons. More information is found in the Delaware Hunting and Trapping Guide.

Turkey hunters no longer registering turkeys at in-person check stations. All registration is online through the Digital DNREC system or by calling 1-855-DEL-HUNT.

Information for Hunters

Avian influenza, a group of influenza strains that occur naturally in wild aquatic birds, has been found in snow geese and poultry flocks in Delaware. Hunters and others who encounter sick or dead birds should be aware of the risks and take precautions.
