IMPORTANT NOTE

The southwestern parking area is closed until further notice. Please use one of the other parking areas indicated on the map.

Hunters must maintain a setback of 30 feet from the fences around the solar arrays.

Zone A1 (formerly F5) is approximately 227 acres of mixed woodlands and fields south of Stevenson Road, west of Turkey Hill Road, and east of Dodge Road.  Suggested parking and access are from 2 locations along Turkey Hill Road, 1 location along Stevenson Road, and 1 location on Dodge Road.  Archery implements can be used in this zone during the appropriate seasons.  This site is in WMU 7R in the Town of Dryden.  There is a maximum of 10 hunting slots open at any legal time at this site.

This area is also within the Deer Management Focus Area (DMFA). It will allow hunters with a valid NYS hunting license who register with the DMFA program to take two antlerless deer per day during the bow hunting, regular, and late muzzle-loader seasons. In addition, a special season running from mid to late January has also been created during which hunters with a valid DMFA permit may also take two antlerless deer per day in the DMFA. For more information and to register in the DMFA program, visit the DEC DMFA website.

A1 is accessible to nonambulatory hunters by allowing limited use of motor vehicles and ATVs.  Nonambulatory hunters are those that are unable to walk (e.g., paralysis). Nonambulatory hunters will receive a special ID and vehicle tag that identifies them as nonambulatory.  Nonambulatory hunters wishing to discharge a weapon from their motor vehicle will have to present evidence of their NYSDEC Non-Ambulatory Hunter Permit. This permit, however, is not necessary if the nonambulatory hunter discharges their weapon away from their vehicle. Contact cudeerhunting@cornell.edu for nonambulatory ID.
