The Ultimate Private Island Whitetail Hunting Destination

Hunt mature whitetails on a 2,000-acre private island accessible only by boat or aircraft.

OVERVIEW

A New York Whitetail Hunt Unlike Any Other

Galloo Island is a private hunting destination for trophy hunters and private groups seeking a fully guided whitetail experience beyond the traditional outfitter model. Located six miles offshore in Lake Ontario, the 2,000-acre island offers limited fall hunts for mature, island-raised whitetails in a setting shaped by more than a century of sporting tradition.

Galloo Island’s legacy of privacy and distinction dates to the late 1800s, when its invitation-only club welcomed prominent dignitaries and statesmen. This fall, for the first time, the island will welcome a limited number of hunting guests.

WHAT MAKES GALLOO DIFFERENT

The Highest Standard for Whitetail Hunting

Trophy Deer

Galloo Island has produced whitetails measuring upwards of 200”, supported by strong island genetics and established food plots.

Limited Pressure

Only a few hunters are in the field at one time, with blinds and hunting areas positioned throughout the island for a focused pursuit.

Hunting Options

Fall hunts are available for rifle, shotgun, and bow hunters, with strategically placed stands supporting each approach.

Island Stay

Stay in the lodge or guest house, with transportation available from Watertown International Airport or the mainland dock.

HUNTING

A Fully Guided, Multi-Day Hunting Experience

Galloo Island offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue mature whitetails across remote private-island ground. Fully guided, multi-day hunts are carefully coordinated from arrival through post-harvest, giving guests the time, access, and support to stay focused on the pursuit.

A Private Island Experience

Whitetails at dusk, Lake Ontario sunsets, and cliffs rising above miles of shoreline give the island a character that stays with you long after you leave.

STAYING HERE

Lodging & Accommodations

Lodging is included with every Galloo Island hunt. The eight-bedroom lodge sleeps up to 10 guests, while the two-bedroom guest house sleeps two, giving hunting parties comfortable on-island accommodations and space to gather, recharge and prepare for the next day in the field.

Getting Here

Arrive by Boat or Private Aircraft

Reaching Galloo is part of what sets the island apart. Guests arrive by boat from the mainland or fly directly to the island, reinforcing the sense of privacy and separation before the hunt even begins.
