Controlled Antlerless Deer Hunt Set for Judge Morris Estate in White Clay Creek State Park

The Judge Morris Estate section of White Clay Creek State Park in northern New Castle County will be closed to the general public on Wednesday, Jan. 12 and Thursday, Jan. 13, for a special controlled antlerless deer hunt managed by the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation.

The hunt will be conducted from deer stands and will encompass just the Judge Morris Estate Area for these two days ONLY. This hunt is in addition to the regularly scheduled statewide January shotgun season that will begin Jan. 15 and run through Jan. 22 throughout White Clay Creek State Park.

The goal of the hunt is to reduce the area’s herd to a more manageable number. In a recent managed hunt on the Carpenter section of the park, 40 antlerless deer were harvested.

For more information on the management hunt, call Rob Line, Natural Areas Program Manager, at 302-739-3423 off., or 302-388-4485 cell, or the White Clay Creek State Park office at 302-368-6900.
