The Delaware hunting season for 2024-2025 is set by the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). The season dates vary depending on the species being hunted, but typically run from September to January. Hunters must have a valid hunting license and follow all state hunting regulations.
Hunting is an important part of Delaware’s outdoor heritage. It helps to control deer populations, provides food for hunters and their families, and generates revenue for the state. The DNREC sets hunting seasons to ensure that deer populations are healthy and that hunting is conducted in a safe and ethical manner.
