Donations will be accepted of Venison, waterfowl, and fish from members.
Despite facing a full moon and near-60-degree temps, our guide’s knowledge, preparation, and private land access proved more formidable. Eight birds were harvested, limiting the group out for the day.
Spaces are still available for Goose Hunt III, request a place HERE.
Goose hunts are back! Dates for our three Winter 21-22 pit blind outings are posted HERE. Enter your name for the dates you are interested in.

Hunter numbers have been dwindling for decades; now the bottom is about to fall out of license-funded conservation. Here’s what went wrong and what you—yes, you—can do about it.
An Enduring East Hampton Tradition
Hunting in East Hampton Town is a tradition that dates back to the middle 1600’s when the area was first settled.
Before the first three hundred years of Long Island and New York State’s existence, there was very little in the way of conservation or hunting regulation.
Many game and waterfowl species, which we refer to today as nongame species (hawks, owls, songbirds, shorebirds, and the like) were hunted to the verge of extinction.
Today, hunting is no longer a means of survival, but is an outdoor sport, one highly regulated by the federal and state governments. Hunting rules and regulations are set by the state and enforced by state conservation officers, as well as federal Fish and Wildlife agents, where migratory birds are concerned. Hunting is still a popular sport, and everyone who hunts in New York today must have an up-to-date state hunting license
Who Can Hunt?
Only East Hampton Town residents or taxpayers and their
guests (with a Town guest license) can hunt big game on East Hampton Town lands. Permanent tree stands or ground blinds are not permitted and will be removed outside of hunting seasons. Small game may be hunted by anyone with a valid New York State hunting license.
Permits
To hunt deer in East Hampton Town a hunter needs to have a Town access permit and/or landowner’s endorsement form from the Town Clerk’s office in his or her possession in addition to a valid state hunting license. When hunters are bow hunting on Town/County co-owned lands, they must park in designated parking areas and display a copy of their Town landowner’s endorsement form in their windshield.
For State lands, and “cooperative hunting areas” which include state, county and municipal holdings as an aggregate and the big game hunting on them is managed by the state, each hunter needs to be signed up with the State and assigned a designated parking and hunting area before hunting.
The East Hampton Town Trustees have jurisdiction for hunting that takes place on their lands, which they hold in commonality for the towns-people.

BASICS
Hemorrhagic disease is a general term for illness caused by TWO DIFFERENT VIRUSES that are related; Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease virus (EHD) or bluetongue virus (BT).
EHD primarily affects WHITE-TAILED DEER and can cause significant mortality events, particularly in the northern United States. Mule deer and pronghorn antelope are also affected. Neither EHD or BT are a disease of humans.
CLINICAL SIGNS in white-tailed deer usually begin approximately 7 days after infection with the virus. They may have reduced appetite, weakness, and loss of fear of humans. Fever and edema are common and deer with EHD often have a swollen head, neck, tongue, or eyelids.
