Within the eastern Adirondacks and Lake Champlain, Washington County takes up 831 square miles and is run from Fort Edward. The 2024 Census estimate is 59,839 residents, near 72 to the square mile. Hunters here deal with DEC Region 5; the head office is in Ray Brook. Deer, bear and turkey dates come from WMUs 5S, 5T, 5G and 5J. State land managed by DEC adds up to near 32,446 acres.
Land area from the Census 2024 Gazetteer, population from Census Vintage 2024 estimates, DEC region and offices from the DEC office list, WMUs from the DEC WMU season layer, DEC acres from the NYS DEC Lands layer (GIS measure). Checked October 27, 2026.
How DEC divides Washington County
WMU 5S takes in 48% of Washington County, and 5T, 5G and 5J split the rest. Firearms deer hunting opens with the Southern Zone regular season, Nov. 21 to Dec. 13. Northern Zone dates apply north of the zone line and Southern Zone dates south of it. Here the permit map shows target-based DMPs in 5S and 5T and none allowed in 5G and 5J. DEC took limited DMP applications from Aug 3 through Oct 1, 2026. Hunters aged 12 to 15 have Oct 10 to Oct 12, 2026 to themselves with a firearm. Report an antlerless deer on a DMP or Bow/Muzz tag and DEC issues a second Antlered Deer Tag (Earn-a-2nd-Buck, new in 2026).
