I don't know anything about Jersey Hill, but I hunt with a friend a few miles from there Gilles Hill State forest. His camp is on a dirt road surrounded by the SF. It's not bad where we are relatively flat but across the street drops off fast as you head towards CR16.  During bow season we pretty much have to place to ourselves. Opening day of shotgun season has more hunters(as expected). If you like to duck hunt there is a swamp not far that holds some ducks, Keeney Swamp. Good Luck with the camp.

Get on the DEC deer take by county site. Some good info on deer kill. Think it even breaks it down by DMPs if I'm not mistaken

Yes, there is a lot of state land in that area. I've only been hunting there for a few years.  Each spring we check out several different state lands looking for turkey.
