You are not far from some very good bow hunting.you have to do the home work and do a lot of scouting though.I haven' t hunted the refuge in about 4 yrs but from 1970 till then I took deer every year there. The only reason I don' t hunt it now is that I hunt a private club on down the river.Thats the Uwharrie game lands,there are small particles scarted and some of the best hunting,especially with bow are on these parts.
