acres for hunting and fishing. It is prime for turkey, execellent

Caswell Game Lands is one of NC's largest publicly owned hunting areas
with more than 20,000 acres for hunting and fishing. More turkey are taken
on the Caswell Game Lands than any other
in the state. Also, it holds a wonderful deer population and an excellent
set of managed dove hunts. Caswell Game Lands is generally and widely recognized
for its excellent game management program.
Caswell Game Lands is a beautiful site of rolling hills with mixed woodlands and bottomland hardwood forest. It has plentiful, nearby agricultural lands with good forage for the animal populations. In addition, the site has beaver ponds and managed waterfowl impoundments thus plenty of water for animals and fishing.
Because of a very plentiful populiaton Caswell Game Land has the distiction of being the only game land in the state that will be open for turkey huntingduring the 2004 winter season. Note that hunting will be by permit and that the permit must be applied for and drawn in a lottery. This distiction is rewarded because of the very high turkey population of the game land. Caswell is also noted for well organized dove hunts -- see the wildlife site to see fields listed. The Lands themselves should be enough to fulfil any of the sporting needs most people will have. If you wanted a little something different such as a guided hunt, etc. Piedmont Sportsman in the area may suit your needs. Piedment Sportsman provides 1,200 acres offering quail hunts, semi-guided deer hunts, spring turkey hunts, beagle training, deer processing and storage and other hunting activities. They can be contacted as shown to the "Good to know section" to the right. The Caswell Game Land has always been one of my favorite NC gamelands. It offers the NC sportsman some of the best outdoor activities within the state. Map to Caswell can be viewed by navigating through the NC Wildlife Resources Commission Site with a detailed map at the NC Wildlife site for Caswell Game Land. Another useful map of the place can be seed at the ENR site. |
