For most of New York State Deer Hunting Season has ended. However, in Suffolk County the season remains open until January 31st, 2025.

In Suffolk County Regular Bow Season is still open and there is also a Special Firearms season open now but it requires a permit. No matter where or when you hunt in New York State there are a few rules that apply that are illegal to break and one of those is hunting from your car or the road.

Knowing that people are tempted to break these rules the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYS DEC) has a few ways to catch hunters who don’t play by the rules. One such trap was set in Brookhaven Township and a father and son fell for it.

According to a Facebook post and a press release on January 5th, 2025 ECOs used a deer decoy to verify reports that people had been hunting from the road in an area of Brookhaven. ECOs Paschke and Holliday set up the decoy and observed a vehicle stop on the road, then watched an individual exit the car and shoot the decoy from the road.
