Long Island deer season draws praise and humorous tales
The Suffolk County hunt opened with shotgun only, open to any sex, drawing 100 to 200 deer by week’s end. Anthony Taormina called the season a success, praising hunters and biologists for prudent deer herd management. Jean E. Fisher shared student deer stories from Wanakena, including a Monroe County youth who shot a buck with a single slug and a Long Island student dragging a deer along a dry road.
