Pick your hunting spot first

The forecast here is for one point — your pin. Drop one on the map and this page fills with the week at that spot: the wind hour by hour, the barometer, and which of the next seven days is worth taking off.

New York deer seasons, 2026-27

New York’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 12, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and what is open on a given day depends on the wildlife management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the Wildlife Management Unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the NYSDEC Bureau of Wildlife digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
