About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedCumberland County sits in the upper Cape Fear drainage of the Sandhills transition zone, where longleaf pine and wiregrass uplands give way to river bottom hardwoods along the Cape Fear River, providing diverse habitat for whitetails and turkeys in an area shaped heavily by Fort Liberty's sprawling military footprint. Civilian hunting access is constrained by the installation, pushing pressure onto private leases and limited game lands, but the county's Sandhills habitat supports quality deer and historically excellent turkey hunting. The Cape Fear River corridor offers the county's most consistent public hunting opportunity.
