Hunting upstate NY for whitetails is one of if not the hardest areas in the country to hunt for big bucks.

The deer you can basically walk up to and touch are 99% of the time in no hunting areas.

As far as state parks holding more deer than other parks it may be true. I would say pick a spot, scout it out and go by trial and error.

Just a heads up, to hunt most of the Suffolk county state land, you will need a Daily Access permit and daily access parking permit. Both are free to apply in person and $1.00 if you mail it. You will also most likely need to check in at the Ridge Hunter check station where you will get an actual pass to place on your car when you park. When you return the pass, you get your drivers license back.

That should be Hunting Not Driving Lic.

They do not take your hunting license at Ridge. They take your Drivers license or state issued ID.

You must carry the hunting license in you at all times.
