About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedSampson County occupies a broad swath of the eastern Coastal Plain, where flat agricultural lands, pocosins, and the Black River corridor create productive habitat for white-tailed deer and wild turkey. The county supports high deer densities on its large farms and timber tracts, and the Black River with its ancient bald cypress and gum swamps provides exceptional bottomland hunting cover. Access is predominantly private but the agricultural hunting tradition runs deep in this productive rural county.
