I didn't realize that - I looked at the Satellite Image of the focus area and it seemed as though there were plenty of parcels that looked like they would be good for hunting...

I figured that was the case - I live in a very agricultural area of Western NY and generally have good luck having permission granted to hunt private property. I've experienced the idiots too so I understand the frustration...just like the old saying "One bad Apple"..

Why is it so difficult to find private land to hunt in the DMFA - I thought the local farmers would welcome hunters to help with crop damage...disappointed, was hoping to make a trip to hunt shotgun with my son who just returned from deployment. He was gone during our regular season and I saw this a s a great opportunity to hunt together, but I cannot find one landowner who will issue permission to hunt their property.
