Hunting in Ithaca

[Hunter7mm-08]

I'm thinking about heading down to Ithaca to hunt the muzzleloader season. In the northern zone deer hunting is over then so i might make the trip to hunt again with my CVA apex. Love hunting with this muzzleloader, it like hunting with a rifle- no problems out to 150 yds or more!! If anybody could head me in the right way it would be good. I have looked into the DEC web site found some state land and Cornell land but would like some hunters input. Thanks in advance.

You have to apply before Oct. 15th to hunt on Cornell Land, there are many acres of prime hunting land at Connecticut Hill.

Not sure if they changed it to hunt Cornell, but they used to do a back ground check and then you had to sign up for a area and that all had to be done by Early Oct.You have Buttermilk Falls and Treman Parks that you can bow hunt.

i usually get 2 7r tags every yr.One on my tags and one on my sons.Although i usually make it down just once a yr.I am probably going this weekend.We used to do OD there but wasn't enough people in our block of woods to move the deer last 2 yrs.So we go down in post rut season now.
