RV Vacations for Hunters

RV CAMPING AND HUNTING IN THE UNITED STATES

Hunting is extremely popular in the United States. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported that an estimated 21.8 million Americans hunted at least once of the past five years. Hunting can be done with a gun or long bow. You can hunt big game or game birds for recreation or for food.  It’s a sport that has attracted outdoorsmen in quantity. 

Where to go Hunting

You’ll find hundreds of hunting spots in America’s National Parks and in the backcountry in many U.S. states. Hunting is also permitted on 60 percent of U.S. wildlife refuges. Of course, there are regulations in each state, usually varying widely from state to state. These rules and regulations govern the seasons when hunting is permitted, which areas you can enter and the methods of killing certain game animals.

Before you leave on your RV hunting trip, it is wise to study the rules and regulations for the state where you are headed. You should learn about the bag limits, open areas, season dates and hunt types. There are drawing applications and other possible requirements that you should be familiar with for the area. You can usually find all the information you need for the state’s Fish and Wildlife Service.
