You can hunt the same deer on the surrounding County Land that you can hunt on their land for the cost of a Green Key and a Hunting Permit.

Thanks for the reply Vinny. I am a Nassau county resident. I thought the county land was for Suffolk residents only. Can I get a green key as a non-resident?

while you can get a non resident green key for golf and camping, I don't believe you can hunt in Suffolk unless you're a resident....631-854-4949, give em a call.

the pass does not work for hunting ..but they would be glad to take your money ...

The club owns a HUGE field, any deer hunting is done on the surrounding county land that any Suffolk resident can hunt with the proper permits. Had problems with members thinking the county land was Their private spot. So if you joined for deer hunting you would basically be paying to hunt public land.

Sssurfertim, I experienced the same thing. The guys in that club are illegally hunting the county land on either side of the field. I witnessed one of them from my climber as he walked passed me en route back to the club property. You would think a hunting club would play by the rules...guess not. I also found a salt lick in there near a stand. Can't pin that on the club but it was just in off their field, and very far from the county access.

Tell ya, Long Island can be one frustrating place to hunt. This season I am sorta "mentoring" a kid who is getting into bow hunting. Last week I had him set up on some hot sign on the back end of one of the county properties. About 5 min before shootable light, two hunting trespassers come in from a random location (not a county parking spot) and both set up upwind of him. Then at about 730 2 does are making their way towards the kid. Of course the deer wind the other hunters and that's all she wrote. These guys ruined a potential first deer for a kid. Then, later, as we are packing up, one of the hunters approaches us asking for some "space". You can't make this stuff up!

On Long Island, you not only have to beat the deer, you have to be "lucky" not to get effed up by other hunters.
