NYRturkeycall Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Hey all. This is my first year of bow hunting (you probably know from previous posts) And I was wondering if it's worth it getting the Suffolk county archery permit. I was specifically looking at Gordon heights and East moriches county Parks. Gordon heights seems bigger at 193 acres but not sure if it's even worth it because non-hunters in the area, dear possibly not being abundant in the area, in any other issues that might appear. Like shooting a deer and having it run out of the park and not being able to retrieve it legally. I already found some spots I'm going to sit on anyway but I would appreciate anyone's opinion on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway that permit also gives you access to Sears bellows and Hubbard county parks unless they change it. I only hunted them one year, but know guys that did well. I haven’t hunted the island in a few years so look into it. Wertheim refuge might be another option for you. http:// https://www.fws.gov/uploadedFiles/DeerHuntPkg_2021-2022_final_print.pdfSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRturkeycall Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share Posted September 18, 2021 It's not a horrible area but parking is going to be a pain. Thanks for the link unfortunately permit applications needed to be in on 9/11. Maybe I'll look into it for next year. I do plan on going up to cranberry mountain in Putnam for either early archery late archery or the regular season at least once just to change it up. I believe it does give you access to Sears bellows and Hubbard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdbing Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 You can buy Suffolk County permits. They should be available next week and I would recommend getting one. I hunt Gordon Heights and lots of other spots. Gordon heights is not the best area, but I haven't experienced any issues.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
