Salisbury Center deer units and 2026-27 windows

Herkimer County falls in the Northern Zone and Southern Zone, and 4 WMUs (5H, 6J, 6S and 6R) cover it. Black Creek State Forest puts the nearest hunting in WMU 5H. 5H and 6J sits on the no-DMP list, so antlerless chances there come from bow and muzzleloader tags. Hunters in Columbia, German Flatts, Litchfield, Warren and Winfield (Herkimer) and Richfield (Otsego) can give DEC a deer head for CWD testing. Take and report a doe on a DMP or Bow/Muzz tag and the license gains a second Antlered Deer Tag. Waterfowlers near Salisbury Center use Northeastern and Southeastern duck dates and Northeast and East Central goose dates.
