there is duck hunting and deer hunting. Fish and Game have a flyer that explains when and where you can do this in and around the deer refuge. You can get a flyer around the information boards around the lakes public entrances.

You can hunt turkey on the islands in the fall. However, the islands are closed to entry during nesting season (February 1-June 15 or 30), so the spring turkey hunt is not open on the Snake River Islands Unit of the refuge.

Website mentioned star gazing yet it says it closes at ten pm. Think fish and game would mess with me and my wife if we went just to get away from the city lights and enjoy the stars for a bit?

Just make sure that you dont get locked in the gates. They lock the gates at dark. Anywhere that isnt gated, i do believe is okay to be past 10.
