The Town of Riverhead Wildlife Management Advisory Committee is now accepting applications for the 2020 bow-hunting lottery.
The lottery is open to licensed and otherwise eligible hunters. To be eligible, the hunters must possess a current and valid NYS hunter’s license, NYS big game tag and bow-hunter education certificate and must be Town of Riverhead residents (at least 30 days before the lottery date) or Town of Riverhead real property owners.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, applicants cannot attend the lottery. Licensed and otherwise eligible hunters may only participate in the bow-hunting lottery by completion and submission of a 2020 Riverhead bow-hunting lottery application.
Each year, the town grants permission to state-licensed bow-hunters to hunt on certain town-owned properties during deer season on Long Island, which this year begins Oct. 1 and runs through Jan. 31, 2021.
