Big Indian

Welcome to my best friend and hunting buddy ! As always, looking forward to all the memories in the field.

Nice job, way to go ! Keep up the good work. You made Dad very proud

anyone know of places in Deleware, Ulster, Greene. (3A, 3C, 4P, 4O, 4R ) Thanks in advance !

he's validated, I just did it. When he finishes his homework he can get on and introduce himself, thanks for your help! It's homework and good grades or else Dad goes hunting alone.

I'll check, thanks.

My son signed up for his own acct, however he can not introduce himself. It says, you cannot start a new topic. Any suggestions. Thank you.

I was talking to an ENCON officer recently, he said that the very rainy spring had a detrimental effect on the early spring hatch and there was another hatch much later in the spring than usual, hence the small poults . I saw 2 diff flocks recently which looked like the pics from "Elites" camera.

Hey Bellmorekennels, I used to hunt in Oliveria also. A private estate called Hatchery Hollow, prob 10 yrs since the owner passed and haven't been since. Never shot a deer on that property, but a cyote and several nice turkeys. My dad shot one of the biggest deer I have ever seen on that property in the early 90's he always had luck w/ deer there, I never did. I am in Greenvale (Nassau)

LMAO, here's a bit of history on the town..... Big Indian is a hamlet within the Town of Shandaken in Ulster County, New York, United States, located along State Route 28, within the Catskill Park 17 miles west of Woodstock. The Esopus Creek runs through the area, as Birch Creek feeds in from the north. Big Indian Hollow is located slightly to the west, while Big Indian Mountain sits to the southwest.[1] The community is located at 42°10′25″N 74°44′37″W / 42.17361°N 74.74361°W / 42.17361; -74.74361.[2] Contents 1 Origin of name 2 Notable people 3 See also 4 References [edit] Origin of name Once a Munsee named Winneesook (the name means "snowfall") lived near Marbletown, New York; because of his height of about seven feet, he was also called Big Indian. He was in love with a local woman, Gertrude Molyneux, who eventually loved him as well; because her parents opposed the match, they arranged a marriage with one Joseph Bundy. Disliking Bundy, Gertrude eloped with Winneesook into the wilderness. Some years later, a party of people searching for a missing cow was led by Bundy; still seeking revenge, he accused "that big Indian" of stealing the cow. When they finally found Winneesook, Bundy shot him with his rifle and injured him severely; after being left alone, Winneesook crawled to a pine tree where Gertrude found him later dying. After Winneesook's death and burial, Gertrude and her children moved to the site; the hamlet of Big Indian later developed at that location. Local lore holds that the pine tree stood until the railroad through Big Indian was built in the 1880s.[3]
