Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1947, with four broad management objectives: to provide wildlife conservation, agricultural development, recreational use, and industrial operations. The unity of these elements fashion the refuge as one of the most unique in the National Wildlife Refuge System. For managing the hunting program, the lands within the refuge have been divided into an Open Area and a Special Hunt Area. The Special Hunt Area contains 21,000 acres and is open to public hunting by special permit. The Open Area contains 23,000 acres and hunting is permitted in accordance with state hunting seasons.
