New old guy

[wink_man]

I just found this site and thought I would join to see what goes on. I'm from the Socialist Republic of New Jersey, and used to hunt NYS years ago, and thinking about starting again next year.

 

I used to hunt Ulster County, the Balsam Swamp up off Yeagerville Rd. by Roundout Resevoir, and Mombaccus Mountain in Kerhonksen.  

 

I plan on taking a ride up there soon to just check things out a little, and see if I can pick up any additional idea/areas by reading here.

Welcome. I hunt the north coast in the St Lawrence valley & the ADK foothills.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Been looking through the site, things have changed since I hunted the area desribed above, looks like a 3 pt rule for starters, but I'm not sure of the unit, as I never applied for a doe permit up there.

 

I like the interactive map, but it doesn't show enough on the screen of a particular area, glad I still have my topo maps of the area.

 

Called DEC today trying to get a map of the DMU's. I was transferred 3 times and then told 'I know the person you need, I'll have them call you', so we'll see, LOL.

 

Anyways, I have plenty of homework to do and prescouting, and I think, just need a map describing the DMU's and start making a few scouting trips up there.

Written descriptions of the DMU boundaries used to be included in the yearly rule book as I recall, but I just checked and didn't see them. I know they're on the DEC website though.

Once you get the boundaries figured out give Google Earth a try for overhead imagery. If nothing else it's a lot of fun to just 'fly' around and get a feel for the surroundings.

Best of luck.
