During shotgun deer season, access on Onondaga Nature Trail is limited to deer hunters only. A special pre-registered drawing will be held on before the opening of the season. Those selected will be notified by mail. All hunters MUST have in their possession a valid state hunting license, valid Federal Duck Stamp and Waterfowl Identification ID Card to be included in the drawing and subsequent hunt. Hunters must possesss no more than 20 shells per day.
Decoys reduce the chance of crippled birds.
Retrievers are encouraged but not mandatory. Hunting will occur only in the area to the east of Sour Springs Road. Hunting times are sunrise to sunset. No special permits are required.
