Suffolk here in Huntington township but go north to Sullivan and other surounding counties to hunt but fish all shores here in Suffolk.

I should have mentioned this another big horse farm in our area would spread the manure in a couple of large fields that we leased and as soon as the tractor left turkeys would flock to the field and feed on the undigested oats,that tractor was like a dinner bell to them.A true fact.John

I can attest to them working very well,several deer have been taken from one left out to age in my old club of course location has a lot to do with it and I brought a 3 inch tree limb in side to use as a rest so I could shoot resting rifle across my forearm,I have done this a few times always shoot using a rest and avoid a wound only is my advise .John

How about a "Remember how it Was thread" so some of us seniors could converse about earlier times?

I am glad you created it,only been here a short while and am very impressed.Thanks a bunch and keep up the good work. John

I vote yes I've got much stuff in basement & barn John

I used to get them at the Farmers Market on the main st in Monticello they have bins with all the different kinds so you can mix and match them they have a large variety.John

They also raised the fee for Seniors and are not giving a senior discount for the new salt water fishing licence,so for an ole guy like me that might only go a couple times a season why buy them?When I get the urge I do a charter or go on a open party boat.

Caught then in Lewey Lake in the Adirondacks while RVing at the state camp ground they rent row boats during season.John

Stayed in a few camp grounds on the Delaware river some from my old club used to fish it when shad would come up river,around the 10 mile river there are a lot of lakes surrounding and in the boy scout land should be good fishing and not too far from lake Huntington,the DEC used to manage the scout land during deer season not sure if they still do.I hunted that for a few years.Nice country around that area was good for bear close to the Del. river.John

I belonged to a club in Mongaup Valley we fished the mongaup river stocked with trout,lake Superior,Chestnut Ridge that is connected to it good ice fishing both,White Lake good ice fishing also has a DEC boat launch,The Swinging Bridge reservoir south of 17B has a DEC boat launch and a marina hybrid stripers there but water level varies as its a Hydro lake and the dam was being rebuilt last I heard? Used to catch big carp behind the restaurant on 17B (the North end of that water.Sure miss my days up there nice country enjoy your new property up there.By the way I had a camp on Pine Bush Lake.John aka JW QLTY

I was hoping to go out for sea bass at Captree LI NY tomorrow,there have been good reports but Egore the hurricane is having its effects on the south shore so?????? what to do??

Cant seem to post it sorry??

Its a hard thing to deal with,i belonged to a club in Sullivan Co.NY and we had some defiant ones that even when confronted would continue trespassing.The only way to stop them would be for at least 1 member to file official charges and follow thru with court appearances etc. So not so easy with many living out of town or with busy schedules.Then with the advent of 4 wheelers things got worse.Before that I had to sell a camp up in Pine Bush that had been a haunt for kids before I bought it,I practley rebuilt the place many week ends but the kids kept breaking in,it was a sad thing but I sold it and later joined a club that had local members that kept an eye out which turned out to be the best alternative.Picture is of my Pine Bush NY camp with lake frontage, deer stand was a 15 minute walk away,still dreaming bout that one .John aka JW QLTY

Welcome and thanks for your service.Where do you want to hunt?NY?You didn't say. John aka JW QLTY

I grew up on long island's north shore and have put in my hours on the sound around Glen Cove and the Huntington area,Montauk and Fire Island on the south shore.Sadly sold my last boat but have been going out of Captree with great success this season.

Looks like a great site and I am happy to join in.Have hunted several years in Nassau, Suffolk, Delaware,Ulster and Sullivan counties in New York.Stating that I hunted in Nassau County might give an indication of my age (grin).John aka JW QLTY
