Hunting License

The Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation allows hunting on its lands as a tool for wildlife management. It is permitted only when compatible with Division management objectives.

All hunters wishing to hunt on State Park lands must first register for the Delaware State Parks Hunting Program. The State Parks Hunting Registration must be carried, along with a valid Delaware Hunting license, whenever hunting on State Park lands. There is a $10 charge for registration. The registration is valid in all state parks that allow hunting for the 2011 — 2012 hunting season

Some parks have additional pre-registration requirements. Hunters are urged to contact each park directly for complete information.

Special hunting rules are in effect at each State Park. These rules and park hunting maps must be obtained prior to hunting each site. They are available in printed form at each park where hunting is allowed, or at 89 Kings Highway, Dover. These special rules are in addition to the regulations outlined in the Delaware Hunting and Trapping Guide: 2011-2012 (view a digital version of the guide - outside link).

Bullfrog, snapping turtle and terrapin hunting is prohibited in all areas.
