DEC Managed lands

approximately 2,000 registered hunters participate.&nbsp; NY State’s wild&nbsp;turkey flocks on&nbsp;Long Island disappeared in the late 19th Century due to a reduction in forested habitats. In the mid-1990s, DEC trapped approximately 75 wild turkeys in upstate New York and released those birds at three locations in Suffolk County. The Long Island population is now estimated at more than 3,000 birds and growing.&nbsp;
&nbsp;"DEC requires spring turkey hunters to enter a drawing and make advance reservations before hunting on DEC-managed properties. To enter the drawing, hunters must complete the <a href="https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/3922b1c73829493889c4800a5926c1cb/" data-extlink="" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Long Island State Lands Spring Turkey Drawing Registration Form</a>"&nbsp; The deadline for entries is midnight on March 20!
 Hunters may hunt with a shotgun loaded with shot no larger than number 2 and no smaller than number 9, or with a bow. Hunters may not use crossbows or rifles. Handguns are not permitted while hunting on state lands.
