Are you chomping at the bit to get into the field and harvest your deer this year, but don't have a spot to hunt on yet? Your answer may be the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge.

Once again this year, hunting is open on about 5000 acres of refuge land and you can hunt there with just a regular unit tag no special draw is needed.

Gary Williams with the refuge says hunting right at the start of the season tomorrow is usually very good...with it trailing off a bit as the season progresses.

He says if you need a place to hunt...give them a try...or their neighbors...

(Gary Williams - Audubon National Wildlife Refuge) "We allow hunting on Audubon. We try and coordinate with the state so it is a nice compliment to hunters to get them here and do some hunting. It is a great opportunity. We also have hunting on another one of our refuges. That is a great hunt at Lake Nettie Wildlife Refuge between here and Turtle Lake. That is really a nice hunt."

Williams reminds hunters that there are closed areas there as well...so make sure you know where you can and can not hunt.

And when the deer-gun season comes to a close the pheasant season opens on the refuge...that is in about two and a half weeks. watch the video | save this article / add to your favorites list
