Yes, I see at least 1 deer every time I go there, but I don't deer hunt and they are busting it when I see them so I can't look for horns. I shot a big 20 pound gobbler there right on the power line in 1999.

I shot my first one ever, last weekend in Putnam County at the California Hill Multiple Use Area. It is the only one I have seen there. I have also seena few in Fahnestock but did not get any there yet.

Thanks everyone. I might give DEC a call to get more info. I am going to try the sport anyway, I just don't want to write off places if I hunt and don't see anything - because they might be productive in future years. tracks in the snow are a way to find out without asking anyone

Hi, Guns&ReligionCop. I live in Fishkill, and I hunt squirrel and turkey in Putnam and Dutchess Co. Most of my hunting is for cottontail in Washington Co. I would say grouse also, but my bird shooting is too pathetic to call it hunting LOL.

I am a small game hunter for 22 years and I just found this site. I can't wait to read and tell hunting stories and share info. with fellow hunters. I am a shotgun enthusiast, and I have a collection of all the gauges of Ithaca M37. I hunt with the new 28 gauge I bought in 2009, love that lil' sweetheart ! If you have good rabbit hunting stories and tips, you move to the top of the list as my forum buddy !

Hi, can anyone reply with their knowledge of where the southern Adirondacks might be in the snowshoe hare cycle ? I am a long-time cottontail hunter who wants to start hunting snowshoe this year. I have read that their populations can swing from a peak of 3000 per square mile to almost nothing over a 10 year cycle. Does anyone have information on what point the Adirondacks are in the cycle ? I was planning on hunting in Warren County for starters. If I step into good habitat in December, should I expect to see a lot of rabbits or next to nothing, or something in between ? Thank you for your reply.
