More information on statewide Sunday deer hunting dates and public lands open to Sunday deer hunting is available at the Sunday deer hunting website: http://www.dnrec.delaware.gov/fw/Pages/Sunday-deer-hunting.aspx or by calling the Wildlife Section office 302-739-9912.

It is unlawful to hunt any species on Sunday except deer on private land and designated publicly-owned lands, or if hunting on a commercial shooting preserve, or to chase (no harvest) red fox in season.

Deer Harvest Report Cards
Hunters will no longer receive tags that must be attached to a deer before the animal is moved from the place of kill. Instead, all hunters legally allowed to hunt deer, will receive a Deer Harvest Report Card which will show all of the “tags” available to the hunter based on what they are eligible for and/or have purchased.

IMPORTANT: Hunters shall not remove the “tags” from their Deer Harvest Report Card for any reason, including being attached to a deer and the card should be kept as a complete document.

If a harvested deer is no longer in a hunter’s immediate possession, a Deer Carcass Tag must be affixed to the deer.
