I am a graduate college student at the University at Buffalo and I live in Amherst, NY. I am looking to gain access to any public land (town or state) or private land that would allow me to small game ( squirrels and rabbits) hunt on it during the winter months after deer season.
I have contacted the DEC and they have not been very helpful at all in their suggestions. I have used their interactive mapper too... not as groundbreaking as they made it out to be.
Ideally I would like to keep driving to under 30 min of my location (14226 zip) . I have called the town clerk office at Amherst and there are many big parks and parcels of vacant land but there is no discharge of firearms in this town. Oh the irony.
To my understanding, there is hunting on Grand Island and Clarence but I am not having any luck with contacts or locations of huntable land.
Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Coyote or fox hunting go to dale public land in Wyoming county, about 45 min to hour from where you are. Travel down the 219 into the southern tire for squirrel, beautiful country in the hills there's a lot of gamelands use the Dec interactive mapper

Re: Public or Private Land Near Buffalo, NY
Thank you all for the responses and pm's. Its tough spending so much time inside studying all week and not being close to my land back home. I plan on doing some more foot work this Monday, knocking on doors and asking for permission.
Thanks again for the help!

try Iroqois national wildlife refuge. 11,000 acres of swamps & brush between Rochester & Buffalo. A buddies kid was working out there during archery. The all got deer. He said lots of small game too. Good luck. Mike
