About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedStokes County anchors the northwestern Piedmont of North Carolina along the Virginia border, where the Sauratown Mountains rise as a dramatic outlier range above the Dan River basin amid rolling hardwood ridges. White-tailed deer and wild turkey hunting is strong throughout the county on predominantly forested private and public lands. Hanging Rock State Park anchors a natural area complex that functions as a de facto wildlife refuge, concentrating game on adjacent huntable properties.
Rolling Piedmont hills with the dramatic Sauratown Mountain outlier range; Dan River and Moore Creek drainages; mixed hardwood forests dominate with pockets of pine and scattered agricultural openings
Low to moderate - rural county with quality public land and limited hunting pressure compared to more urban neighboring counties
Standard NC hunting license with harvest report card; statewide bag limits apply
Wild turkey is very strong in the hardwood ridges of the Sauratown area; ruffed grouse historically present in suitable habitat; small game hunting active on public lands
Dan River Game Land public access; Sauratown Mountains wildlife refuge corridor effect that concentrates deer and turkey on adjacent huntable lands
