Yup thoight about stewart but seems like there will be alot of pressure there and i dont wana do something to get in peoples way. Planed on humpin far in near a pound or somethin and 3 day campin openin weekend and small game hunting. But since i cant camp out there i dont wana have to keep takin trips back and fourth. All depends on where i park i guess. Still gonna camp it. Just in harrimon and go back and forth

Thanks for all the replys. My boys are two and four and want to do what daddy does. My four year old loves to hike with me and exlplore out of the way places and keeps askin to have a bow like mine. So im good on that. Raise em right and they wont depart from it. And. I was in the army statiined in cllorado springs and radcliff kentucky and grew to loooove the outdoors years ago. I was young though and was more interested in chasin tail then. Now bein back in the city and life revolving around my kids i wish i knew more about the outdoors. So hear i am. Will definitly start small. Though i set my own rule for small game. Dont kill nothin u wouldnt eat or feed to ur dogs. Dont feed ur dogs nothin u wouldnt eat.

So Im new to hunting and been doing a lot of reading and building my bow skills in preparation for the 2014 deer season, I figure for 2013 I will start with small game and work my way up when my shots are consistent. So in preparation I have been trying to find a place not to far from the city to start scouting. I narrowed it down to Sterling, Fahnstock, and one other that I can think of right now. But Im leaning on sterling because I plan on taking the family and dogs with me and making a lot of camping trips of it, and with harrimon and bear mountain right there I think that's good for them and gives me time to slip away while they nap ( 2 and 4years) for a few hours and scout then come back. For 2013 I want to possibly hunt small game while continuing to familiarize myself with Sterling or wherever I choose to hunt. For this years opening weekend I plan on possibly spot and stalking / Still hunting. im still reading up on this but I think I would enjoy that much more than stand sitting from sun up to sun down, plus I think I would have more chances at getting game than stand sitting. Which gives me more practice for taking deer. Does this sound crazy or is it something that makes sense? also, I had planned to spike camp Sterling for the opening weekend. then I found out you cant camp in sterling. this just sounds crazy to me cause I cant see how in the world I am supposed to hike trails in sterling then make it back to harrimon to camp then hike back the way I came through sterling. just seems like a waist of time to me. any thoughts are truly appreciated. Thanks in advance

City guy who wants something different. I have two boys and took a look at them watching TV one day and said that was it. Been on an outdoor kick for the past 3 or 4 months and don't plan to stop. Currently taking up the Bow and learning how to camp and hike properly. Built my own archery targets, own tent (just a painters tarp I altered an silicone water proofed) and putting together my gear and building knowledge to start hunting and extend that knowledge to my kids and nephew. hope ya don't mind me poking around the place. take it easy.
