Hunting

In Kent County

There are many community activities in Clayton, but the sportsmanship of hunting is one that men and women enjoy during hunting season. 

While you can hunt on private property, State property is made available for hunting. This land provides habitat for a multitude of wild plants, animals, insects, and rare species of all kinds. 

Hunting opportunities includes deer, turkey, small game, and waterfowl. All hunting is subject to applicable State and Federal regulations. 

Visit the websites to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control (DNREC). These websites include hunting seasons, locations, and fee information. You can also contact Smyrna Sporting Goods or Shooter's Choice Inc. for more information.

You can purchase your hunting license at an authorized License Agent.
