upstate

It depends where I am. On my property on the tug hill I still hunt and have killed every deer from the ground. In southern tier I stand hunt mostly. It mainly has to do with how much land I have to hunt. On the tug hill I have almost 400 acres of our own land and its surrounded by 30,000 acres of state land. Down south, I have 60 acres and am not comfortable still hunting state land, for two reasons, I don't want to piss off some guy in a stand and lastly, I prefer to hunt with people I know are safe. I have no idea who is who on state land

Hunted on the tughill over Thanksgiving weekend and we saw groups of deer in the fields off Route 177 and damn near hit a doe chased into road by a buck. A few miles away we saw about 13-14 deer in field that was being watched over by two huge bucks. I saw a couple of loan doe in woods which indicate to me that they may be still coming in.
