This cache is placed at Prince's Point Wildlife Area, a popular
spot for hunting with dogs, espcially water fowl and pheasant. Deer
and turkey are also hunted here. Please wear blaze orange during
hunting season. Dogs must be leashed between April 15th and July
31st.
From the DNR website: Prince’s Point Wildlife Area consists of
approximately 2000 acres of mostly bottomland hardwoods and open
water marsh. This wildlife area is primarily riparian wetlands
associated with the confluence of Spring Creek, the Scuppernong
River, and the Bark River. A large portion of the area is comprised
of bottomland hardwoods and shrub/carr. A total of approximately
1000 acres are managed in four wetland impoundments. The water
levels in these impoundments are manipulated for moist soil
management to maximize use by waterfowl and other wetland birds.
The southern most impoundment is managed as a waterfowl refuge.
There is a small portion of upland cover along Koch Road on the
northern edge of the property. Some of the management techniques
employed to both maintain and establish quality habitats will
include water level manipulation, prescribed fire, brush control,
and invasive species removal.
