 Hunting & Nature
Colliers Mills Fish and Wildlife
Reserve is located along Hawkins & Colliers Mills Rd. The area contains
2,519 acres. This area has a substantial deer herd offering excellent hunting
for both the bow and shotgun enthusiast.
There is good waterfowl
hunting on five of the major water impoundments. Species most harvested are
mallard, black duck, wood duck and teal. With over 150 surface acres of water,
this provides good bass, pickerel, and perch fishing.
Upland game
hunting principal species are rabbits, squirrels, grouse and quail. Both quail
and pheasants are stocked prior to and during the hunting season. The area also
has red and gray fox, which provide excellent hunting opportunities. The
shotgun, rifle range, and archery training area are open to licensed hunters.
Plumsted is a good area for observing native pinelands herptiles, such
as the Pine Barren Treefrogs, which can be heard during the late spring and
summer. Did I mention bird watching; too many species to detail so bring your
guidebook and binoculars.
