Hunting is allowed on state lands including TauRhannock Park. • Only antlerless deer (those without antlers or having antlers less than three inches long) may be harvested during the early antlerless deer season, and hunters may only use Deer Management Permits (DMPs) or Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) tags. • Hunters who report an antlerless deer harvest on a DMP will receive a Bonus DMP for the same WMU. Hunters who harvest and report an antlerless deer will also receive a second antlered deer tag for the 2026-27 seasons through DEC's new "Earn-a-2nd-Buck" program. • Hunters using firearms, including muzzleloaders, during any season must wear a solid or patterned fluorescent orange or fluorescent pink hat, vest, or jacket while hunting. • Legal hunting hours for deer and bear include the full period of ambient light from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. For more information, visit • 2026-27 Hunting and Trapping Guide • Deer and Bear Hunting Seasons • Regulations BIRD MIGRATION: Shorebirds are already on the move, heading south from their summer breeding grounds in the arctic. Songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, and more will soon follow, with migration peaking in September -October. New York State is well positioned along the Atlantic Flyway for fall migration. If you're in upstate New York and still want to get a glimpse of shorebirds, check out areas with mudflats or low standing water. Shorebirds often arrive overnight, stopping to briefly refuel before carrying on south. For warblers, vireos, thrushes, and more, anywhere in New York State can be good for viewing. Check out DEC Bird Conservation Area Program and the New York State Birding Trail for locations to look for migrating birds. View the latest migration forecasts and maps for birds in your area.
