Zone A6 is approximately 15 acres of woodlands located south and west of Dodge Road near the NYSDEC Game Farm.  This site is in WMU 7R in the Town of Dryden.  Hunting is limited to bow and crossbow only during any open DEC Southern Zone deer season.  There is a maximum of 2 hunting slots open at any legal time at this site. Parking is suggested along Dodge Road where Cascadilla Creek crosses . Please do not block the DEC access gate at the curve off Dodge Road. Violators here may be subject to having their vehicle towed.  

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, again limited to bow and crossbow only. 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. 

NOTE: Construction on a large solar farm project will begin during the week of November 12th in the fields East of Dodge Road. Expect disturbances by heavy equipment and noise near this site.
