Coy Glen is located in the Town of Ithaca, and has some of the highest deer densities of all Cornell Botanic Gardens' Natural Areas. The 122 huntable acres are open to archery and firearm hunting in the respective seasons. 

Access for Lot #3 is on the Elm Street Extension along a shoulder pull-off at the top of a small hill. Hunting out of Lot #3 is restricted to the north side of the gorge.

Coy Glen is also within the 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 with any lawful hunting implement. For more information and to register in the DMFA program, visit the DEC DMFA website.
