Hey Coastieboy....look up Rack Attack (Chuck) at The Archery Forum in Middle Island. I don't know if he will tell you where to hunt but he isa good resource for Bow repairs and related equipment.

You can contact the DEC in Rocky Point, they have land to access and also contact Suffolk County Parks as they have some park land out east that you can hunt for a nominal annual fee. The hunting is not bad on either of these pieces, it's just a bit of a pain sometimes if someone is in the zone you wish to hunt. They limit the number of hunters per spot.

With regards to private land, good luck it is tough to find.

Welcome to Long Island and welcome to the boards.
