Deer Hunting - Long Island

[Mambwe]

Any Long Island deer hunters here? I've never hunted public land before but I'm thinking about it this season to extend my season. I'm always a little worried about public land. Not knowing the land or where other hunters are. I have only hunted upstate on private land.

 

Any pointers? Am I too late to hunt public land this season? I was looking online and I saw something about a lottery.
