[Note: Hunting is allowed in the state forest. A state sign explains that late fall is when hunters are likely to be on the property. While some species may be taken by licensed hunters on a year-round basis, most hunting activity occurs between October 1 and February 29. The most intense hunting occurs during deer season between the last Monday of November and the 3rd Saturday in December.] "
