While establishing more native grasslands is improving small game hunting on State Game Lands 280, the transition also benefits other species. Kestrel nesting boxes, like that at left, have been installed and are improving nesting success. Aside from small game, hunters pursuing deer, turkeys, waterfowl and furbearers also can find great opportunities on State Game Lands 280. Trophy bucks are harvested here each year. At right, Joseph Bucci holds up a spring gobbler he harvested here. In a densely populated area of the state, State Game Lands 280 is an oasis for those seeking hunting and trapping opportunities and the solitude the outdoors provides. The Game Commission's management of wildlife habitat here makes things all the better. State Game Lands 280 is easily accessed off state Route 183. More than a dozen parking areas provide convenient access to most areas. Your visit is bound to be enjoyably worthwhile!
