Dear Hunters,

     We are pleased to make available Arnot’s 4,200 acres for hunting. We hope that you have a safe and productive season. 

     Please note: the Arnot Field Campus is leased to another group. Therefore, no hunter access is permitted into the area or buildings that surround the field campus; this includes no access to the bathhouse or parking lots. The map (click here) illustrates the location of the field campus, a residence within the field campus, and a neighboring residence. Particular caution is necessary near the field campus, given the likelihood of increased human activity.

 Sincerely,
Peter Smallidge
Arnot Forest Director

 Hunting Information and Links:

To hunt the Arnot Forest, you must have a permit issued by Cornell University for the Arnot Forest, have read the Rules & Regulations, and completed the permit application here.

Note: Cornell Botanic Gardens Deer Management Program (cudeerhunting@cornell.edu) is a separate program and the Arnot’s hunting program does not grant hunting permission in the Botanic Gardens’ Natural Areas. Similarly, the Cornell Botanic Gardens permit does not grant hunting permission at the Arnot Forest.
