State Land

[Charlest48]

I'm hoping someone can help me. I would like to hunt state land in NY but don't know where to go.

I'm taking a friend who can not climb so we will be hunting on the ground.We would like to hunt in a shotgun area hopefully where we won't be in anyone's way.any part of the state would be fine.

Thank you for any help.

Where are you located? You should be able to find something somewhat near by. Are you talking about deer hunting? Or small game?

DEC website has an interactive map to show you state lands and where they are... they also have a google earth with the state lands overlayed..

I'm located in NJ and will be hunting deer.

Bashakill, Mogaup, Pochuck are all near the NJ northern border. Sterling Forest also touches NJ border but you need to obtain a park pass before hunting there and no firearms are allowed prior to November 1st. Bashakill has no mountains. It's a swamp. Sterling is mountainous but there are some flat areas too. I have not been to the others.

The DEC interactive map is pinned to the top of the general hunting forum.

The Mongaup has VERY LOW deer numbers.

I know that there's some state land round Pine Bush and Walker Valley that I've heard is good for deer.
