I have to tell you that I think the Long Beach hunt is not an early hunt, I looked around in there this year and didn't even find a track, I hear the late season in there is better, and there is not too much public land out there. Besides I have never seen an area with so many BioHazard signs, it seems like every time you turn around down there there is another sign saying "keep out BioHazard area" or something like that, Not to sure if I would like to eat a critter from a biohazard area.  :dunno:

Very few places to hunt between the watershed and waste treatment land. I think the numbers you are reading are from the locals, they pretty much have the corner on those elk and I would imagine that the numbers posted in the regs are almost all the same folks every year hunting private property.

As for Long Island, I have never hunted there but it seems to be a real pain to get access unless you have a boat. I guess there are quite a few elk out there but it is hard to hunt them, My buddy tried hunting there one time and the timing has to be perfect with the tide and all that so you can't expect to go there and hunt without doing your homework.

A taxi friend of mine did a bull from Long Island that was 3rd in the state so I'm sure if you are willing to put in the time and effort you could score big !!

Long Island gets hammered hard by people. Its a cool hunt but be prepared to have other hunters around.
