About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedAnson County anchors the south-central Piedmont along the South Carolina border and the Pee Dee River, where vast agricultural fields interspersed with river swamp and bottomland hardwoods produce some of the highest deer densities in the North Carolina Piedmont. The Pee Dee River floodplain concentrates deer during flooding events and provides outstanding stand-hunting in mature bottomland timber. Turkey hunting is solid throughout the agricultural margins and creek-bottom hardwoods.
Flat to gently rolling Piedmont with Pee Dee River floodplain bottomlands, extensive row-crop agriculture including cotton and soybeans, mature bottomland hardwoods along river and creek drainages, and sandy upland soils supporting mixed pine-hardwood cover.
Low to moderate. Rural character and distance from major metro areas keep pressure manageable on private ground; Pee Dee NWR units are hunted but offer enough acreage to absorb seasonal use.
OTC deer license required; verify current zone regulations for Anson County as regulations vary between coastal and piedmont zones.
Turkey hunting on agricultural margins and river bottom timber is productive in both spring and fall. Dove hunting over harvested grain fields is a significant draw in September. Pee Dee NWR hosts managed deer and waterfowl hunts by drawing.
Pee Dee River bottomland deer hunting; Pee Dee NWR provides rare public land hunting access in the Piedmont river corridor with high deer density and managed hunt opportunities.
