So im new to the area just transferred here from San Diego. I Live here about 4 years ago but i didn't hunt then i was looking to go deer hunting in BW WMA as it is closeish to Chesapeak area and not a swamp, but i cant seem to figure out if i can use a rifle to hunt deer or not. Has anyone here hunted there or now the gun laws for that area?

Hunting regulations are generally the same as those for Sussex County, except for Rules for Wildlife Management Areas. Hunting seasons are also similar to those for Sussex County. Exceptions can be found in the Hunting and Trapping Summary.Either-sex deer hunting is allowed on dates specified in the current Hunting & Trapping Digest. Hound hunting for deer is permitted.

Ok that is what i thought but it just seemed odd its rifle season and you can use a rifle but i suppose its really firearm season so a shotgun with buck shot would be ideal then. thanks for the info.
