Locating their roost works for me. JW

On October 23, 2010, the fall turkey hunting season will be open for New York's Western, Central, and Southeastern Wildlife Management Units (WMUs), and will be closed for northern WMUs. A detailed map of open and closed WMUs can be found on the Turkey Hunting Season Map (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/29461.html)

Hey Bert I'm your neighbor in Northport.looks like this site is growing fast.John aka qlty

I am going back a bit but a Nassau County hunting association used to put on a demonstration some where in Hempstead LI. just before opening day they would get a deer from the DEC for this.Try doing some searches google etc. Sorry I dont have more info.

An old timer in my club would put the liver in a pot of salt water for a day or so.As far as (gamey taste Define) =having the flavor or odor of game or other meat kept uncooked until slightly tainted: The roast was still edible but was slightly gamy So if the meat was not handled well or over aged.Hanging a deer for a couple days below 40oF should not cause a gamey taste. We always hung deer with head down to butcher.JW

I disagree there is enough of them on the web,keep it related to NY Hunting,that's why I come here .JMHO John

I have hunted the Catskill park in the frost valley area and taken deer. Only one road goes through it, one side is a small river the other side is steep mountain terrain.The YMCA there has lodging and a hunting club,there are trail head parking areas.Its a wild forever area .See map link below. http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1T4HPNN_enUS310US248&q=Frost+valley+new+york&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl

I used a friends that was up all season and it produced.Bring a 3 of 4 foot 3 inch log in for a steady rest so you can shoot a rifle across your forearm.Always shoot from a rest is the best advice I can give.JW

The areas of Liberty and Grahamsville are many miles apart each hold deer Gramsville to the south Liberty being to the north.JW

Not hard to believe as a moose was sited in Beacon NY recently.JW

Has any one hunted up there recently?I hunted years back just east passed the YMCA ,a relative had a house next to state land that they sold.It was tough getting up that mountain without getting scented but standing at the bottom took a couple.I often thought about joining the club the Y has.JW

Did you ever hunt up off of Forest Glen Rd off rte 52?My old camp was at the left side end of the road I could walk across the road go up the hill and be at my stand in 10 minutes.I guess its all been developed in there now??Wish I'd never sold that cabin.JW

A 30-06 in pump rather than a semi would be my choice,if he ever wants to hunt in PA.Had a rem 1700 pump with scope was dead on and faster reload than a bolt.Only wish I'd got the carbine rather than the rifle,JMHO JW

Just saw this on the ABC 5 PM Eye Witness New.A moose was sited near Beacon NY in Duchess county.John
