Organized in 1870 as a premiere hunting club, Woodmont was in continuous operation for almost 125 years. The original owners of the property were wealthy and influential businessmen from Washington who enjoyed the abundant opportunities to pursue wild game. Woodmont Rod and Gun Club was formed shortly after the purchase of the land. Woodmont continued to be a retreat for the powerful men of Washington, DC for many years until the clubhouse and all its records burned in 1903. Following this incident, the original club dissolved and they decided to sell the land. Of the 3,425 acres, 2,000 acres are open to the public year round, making Woodmont one of the area's popular hunting destinations. The open meadows, thick successional areas, and old growth timber provide habitat for numerous game species including: whitetailed deer, eastern wild turkey, gray squirrel, eastern fox squirrel and ruffed grouse. Woodmont NRMA is in management region A. Hunting seasons and regulations can be found in the Maryland Guide to Hunting and Trapping. There is no Sunday hunting at Woodmont NRMA.
