Yeah not a fan of deer drives. I see enough deer,driving,in that I feel there is a ton more than back home. Guys that I'm going,with hunt state land and scored,two of,past,three seasons.
Are you hunting,private or,public land?
They claim we have 10 deer per cent square mile. I'd say it is much less. They want every deer gone.
What do you think the deer per square,mile is in Columbia county???
I've been hunting taconic state forest.
Had one come in from behind two weeks ago but,came in downwind and caught,my scent.

Yes. It is.
MA last year I saw one deer during bow season. 70 yards out in woods. Nothing during shotgun and muzzleloader. 24 guys on 400 acres two,years ago. One deer was seen. That was opening day.
Probably was in woods 100 hours.
As a Hunter from mass of rather hunt once a week in New York than waste my time in mass.
I haven't seen a deer this year since November 1. And this includes driving!
In October I saw may be 4 deer total. 3 while driving. I drive all day Lon
g,for,my company.
First deer season hunting NY...Only had the chance to get out bow hunting about 5 times...From MA so it is a culture shock to cross the border and see deer (at least 9 deer each trip all while driving) ... Don't know what to expect come Saturday morning rifle opener, but friends who hunt said it will be unreal compared to MA opener....Hope to connect, but will be nice to compare the season openers.
I am hunting with my Dad's WoodsMaster 30-06...He bought it when he returned from Vietnam and hunted with it until the late 1980's. Promised I wouldn't buy myself a new rifle until I shot a deer with his rifle. First year in NY deer hunting so hope I can find some good areas this year or meet new hunting partners in the region.
