Hunters with Disabilities
Patuxent Research Refuge provides hunters with disabilities access to designated areas to hunt from vehicles. There are also deer and turkey lottery hunts for disabled hunters. See the hunting regulations for specific requirements and rules for disabled hunters.
Hunters with disabilities are required to provide written verification of disability at the time of entry into the lottery - Patuxent Research Refuge Disability Certification Form (pdf).
To hunt from vehicles, deer hunters must posses a Maryland DNR issued “Universal Disability Pass." https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/pages/udpfaq.aspx
See the Hunting Maps page for designated drive in sites for disabled hunters. Below are pictures of the 4 entrances to the disabled hunting locations in North Tract. See the hunting map for the locations of the sites.
