Four Season Whitetail's

I am sure he said a sweet word or two to Jesus just before he hit the release.

I do 40 with my bow on calm deer without a problem. 40 with Crossbow should be cake with normal practice. Today the equipment is top notch so with the hunter doing his part 40 should be no problem. I guess after 15 years things get easier.

If there is no proven harm being done to any numbers of birds,animal or human then yes its just more jibberish really. Just as many birds are killed by so many other things out there to use that as a weapon to ban lead ammo. Its funny how everyday something new comes along thats going to do this and that when the same stuff has been around for 100;s of years. With no harm. Way to many researchers with to much time on their hands to draw a paycheck and get funding for the next paycheck.

Really sucks after they outlawed the lead. Knock down power at the same distance between the 2 really sucks by way of Steel. Private land and lead gets the call for most i know.

Kinda shows ya where the deer are Not! Dont come North! lol

Trust me..If you want them gone and do what it takes to make them gone you can take care of a yote problem.

October 20th thru January 1st! Be There!

Wood with Solar Panels would be a sweet hook up.

Welcome...I believe you will find a couple guys on here from the Island area that would help get you started in the right direction.

You Did!!! And you want to hunt mine and his and his and her's..No lines remember?

Like to know how all that money came to be? If you read the sentences and such it shows it sure was not English class. American Anyways! Maybe a dad hand me down or more likely a crock of Sh!t.....Er Poop! Sorry....

Game laws tell me what i can take and property laws tell me i have the right to say what goes on that piece of property. If people did not own land a pay taxes then states would go broke. Remember this is America!

Then why would anyone own any land and pay the taxes for it. If thats the case let the state own all the land except where the building sits and let them pay for all the sh!t that goes with it. The guy that owns the 1000 acres should have control of everything on that piece of property because he pays for that luxury. You want to control some? Buy Some!

Yeah that old time research has been proven not to always hold water. You wipe them off the landscape as adults and pups and it will take a long time before you have any issues with them again. Its been proven on some properties

Well if you have been to the park like you say you have then you know there are many places on the park the most sane people will never see. Thats where you will find us. You may find our hip boots hid in the rock cut and you may find our ropes that we tie off on the west and east and cross the river. You may even see our hand cart with 1000 feet of cable that ran by 2 marine batteries strapped off to a tree on a cliff that we use to pull bucks out. You may even come across one half or the other of one of the 120 inch plus bucks that we take off the park pretty much every year. And if you get up real early and get down there you may find my tree stand with my Matthews hanging in the tree waiting for me. I highly doubt that will ever happen because we rarely ever see another hunter where we are but we do seem to see a pile of deer sitting on their tails coming down those banks headed to the river bottom. Thats not to say you may not see me up at the Chipmunk trail waiting on another 132 inch bruiser coming up out of the bottom headed up to the Alfalfa field on the Highbanks road. When i tell you our 1000 acres here is three times better hunting than you will ever find on Tug Hill its not a crock and regardless of the crops we plant or anything we do to help the deer we will never find the bucks that we find down there. The soil has alot to do with the big picture i believe. So there is plenty of room for you to put on a pair of walking shoes and go find yourself the biggest buck you have ever laid eyes on or you can sit in the pines opening morning just off the Castile entrance and have a chance to see a good buck but a great chance of filling your buck and doe tag before lunch. Or you can sit at home complaining that you have no place to hunt unless you drive an hour to get there. Either way..Good Luck in your searches and if you want to drive 21/2 hours North you can sit in my tree stands here while i am down there.

Years ago opening day was like a local school holiday..More kids out than in. Maybe thats the real reason they changed the dates for the Tier? Its not real complex when it comes to yotes and fawns. The more ya take out the more ya save. In some areas of the state these days that can make a big positive impact on the herd. Others. Not so much!

HaHa..Thats not quite the case..Yes i do a few sits on the farm but 80% of my time is spent watching great bucks cross the river between East and West sides chasing tail. We have shy of 1000 acres of some great hunting right out my back door but trust me when i say a deer is not a deer when it comes to what i am after. They make very few of them up here and nothing compared to how many are down there. Tug Hill and the Dak's are a joke compared to Letchworth and Rattlesnake when it comes to mature whitetail bucks. If i was just after a brown deer then yes your right. I could sit a my picnic table opening day and shoot a brown deer. Takes a little more than that for me these days.

I wish.. Home at least 1 day a week to feed the critters and maybe visit the wife..Maybe!!! I can tell ya whats happening in the woods by the numbers of dead deer on the thruway and 390 every week. All im saying is a miles and hours will never hold up a person that really wants to hunt and needs a place. And from Rochester on there is some of the best in the state.

We have a few running around here now with White tags and some collars. Ft Drum has been doing testing on the base and they come and go as they please.

Whats comical is watching some say they have problems finding good property to hunt but let the clock and father time dictate their outcome. An hour drive to hunt trophy potential land is nothing. Some of us drive 30-45 minutes to enjoy a 3D shoot once a week. I mean really. Unless you are a new hunter with no wheels and living at home with parents there is not many reasons not to be able to go hunt great land on your free time.

You got that right. We own 798 acres of some pretty awesome hunting and i still spend more time at camp down there. Camp is just outside Castile entrance and we have 129 acres that border the safety zone on the Mt Morris entrance. After 40 years hunting both spots i can promise you that you will never find the bucks in this area that i find in that. That is a proven fact. Anyone in that area that does not use those 2 places for their hunting are missing the boat..Big Time!!!

Where are you in Rochester that you are 11/2 hour from the park? Zip right down 390, I wish i was that close. I leave 1000 acres of our great farm land to drive 3 hours to our camp to spend 5 weeks hunting the park. Ya get out what ya put in!

Have you ever hunted Letchworth or Rattlesnake?

I thought the same but at 500 a pop i could take that 2500 and go to a ranch and get a 14pt. lol Nah...I will get him in the bowels of Letchworth or the top of Rattlesnake!

Why is it debatable? I dream of being down in that area closer to some of the best hunting in the state. Time and means have to be givin by the hunter but you have some of the best hunting in the state in your backyard.
