Deer Hunting Lottery Opens

Wed, 12/07/2022 - 18:29

The East Hampton Town clerk’s office is accepting applications starting today for the annual lottery for hunters who want to use firearms to hunt deer during the month of January.

Hunters can apply for the lottery — whose winners are granted a permit to shoot deer on certain town lands — through Dec. 21 at 4 p.m.

Winning applicants will be given a “specific property and period of time that they will be permitted to hunt” on town lands, according to the 2022-23 East Hampton Town Hunting Guide.

Those properties include the Buckskill Preserve, town-owned land around East Hampton Airport and along Six Pole Highway in Wainscott, and the Grace Estate and Grassy Hollow area in Northwest Woods.

Lottery winners will be required to sign in upon arrival at these designated hunting grounds.

The town’s Department of Land Acquisition and Management will meanwhile post notices on those lands “notifying the public of the deer hunting season,” according to a lottery resolution approved by the town board this week.
