3s for about 6 hrs this morning. Had a group of 5 does hanging around for an hour with no bucks in sight.

I asked basically the same question a while ago. The numbers in that area are crazy http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27465-What%27s-going-on-in-Warwick%3F

I agree. And the map doesn't show any differences regarding deer sex and implements that can be used. I couldn't find any fine print in the regs either. Just thought I'd ask here before calling the regional office in case I was missing something obvious.

I have an opportunity to hunt private property in 5C when the regular season opens and have never hunted the northern zone before. Someone was telling me that in 5C, only bucks can be taken with a firearm. Does must be taken with a bow or muzzleloader only. I've never heard of anything like this and couldn't find any information about this in the regs. Can of you guys confirm if this is true or not?? Thanks!

I would take that deal any day!

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure it was a lot easier and more welcome 24 years ago, but I might just have to give it a shot.

So I've always read the replies saying to just ask farmers and they will be more than happy to let you shoot groundhogs on their property. But how true is this in NY (we all know NY is 'different' than most of the country)? I'm in lower NY, but would gladly drive upstate or to WNY to shoot some ghogs. Since a lot of you guys live out that way, do you think some farmers would be receptive to asking for permission in a respectful/polite way? Any advice on this from locals in farm country? Thanks in advance.

The info is from this year's harvest report. From a quick look over all the cities listed in the entire state, Warwick is something like 3rd for total deer take. The other areas somewhat close to it aren't anywhere near the numbers there. So what's the deal? Good land? Giving out a ton of tags there? Huge hunter population? I know there isn't much in the way of public land. I've never been over to that area but am pretty interested.

Welcome. Lower Westchester here too :-). I'm guessing you might have been to this link, but if not- http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/92267.html

I'd like another 3S. I've got a 1C if anyone wants a trade

Tagging to watch this later

Tag for info on this too

If I buy a lifetime license now as a NY resident and then move out of NY and establish residency in another state, is the lifetime NY license still valid with no extra non res fees?

Sounds like a pretty sweet setup. Congrats on finally scoring some land!
