The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has announced the deer hunting season dates for 2024 and 2025. The regular season for the Northern Zone will run from October 21st to December 11th, and for the Southern Zone from November 18th to December 11th.
Deer hunting is a popular tradition in New York State, and it provides an important source of recreation and food for many residents. The DEC sets deer hunting seasons to manage the deer population and to ensure that there are enough deer for hunters to pursue while also minimizing the impact on the environment.
