Why?

With each new video, I'm whittling away at all of New York's tree species. Our woods are pretty diverse!

Hello All, Please pardon this video for being a bit off topic. But any hunter ought to appreciate these awesome views of the New York countryside.

This property isn't in the 480-a. Some folks manage their land outside of the state program. I believe woodlot management is intrinsically worth doing as a long term investment as long as you have fertile ground and a decent stocking of timber.

What Region did you work in? Have we met?

Hello All, Last week I met with a client who had a woodlot owner's worst nightmare.

A chronicle of the bad old days.

Hello All, Mark Stothard was a celebrated personality in the hunting and fishing world of Western NY. He lived on the bank of Oak Orchard Creek. The Buffalo chapter of Trout Unlimited invited him to give a comedy slideshow in 2000. He brought down the house so hard that they invited him back in 2001. Luckily I saved the old videotape I shot that night.

Hello. I have three hunting leases available for sale. The first is 29 acres in the Town of Wirt, Allegany County, NY. It is mostly a grove of acorn-bearing oak trees. We are asking $590 per year. The second is 250 acres in the Town of Lyndon, Cattaraugus County, NY, It is woods and fields right behind the main farm, has been posted and patrolled for years, has not been hunted in over a decade. We are asking $3,150.00 per year. The third is 426 acres in the Town of Lyndon, Cattaraugus County, NY. It is woods and fields, swamp, contains a grove of acorn-bearing oak trees. It has a cabin that you may use, but it is derelict and has no electricity. We are asking $5,069.00 per year. I am a professional forester, working on behalf of the owner. My website is at www.pcforestry.com. You may email me at [email protected] if interested. I will send you maps of the properties, you may inspect them, and can phone me if you are ready to sign a lease for one of them. These are all the leases I have. A lease gives you exclusive rights for all wild game hunting seasons for one calendar year. (excluding fur trapping). You may put up tree stands, but only commercially made ones that do not put screws or nails into the trees. We are managing intensively for sawtimber, so we don't allow cutting of shooting lanes or making feed plots. No camping is allowed on the 2 leases that don't have the cabin on them. ATVs are allowed only for deploying or retrieving tree stands, or for retrieving downed game. I have never hunted these properties, but have a long working experience on all three and can attest that deer and turkey are abundant on all three.

Hello All, The Seth Green Rig is a New York grown tactic for trolling deep water in the Finger Lakes. There weren't any YouTube videos about how it's used so I had to step up and testify on behalf of my home state!

This lease is sold.

Just edited my post. $2,252.00

Hello. I have 112 acres for lease an hour south of Rochester. It is mostly an oak forest, with a little field, and surrounded by cropland and woods. Gully runs through it. If interested, email me at [email protected]. I'll send you a map, you go look at it, and if you want it, we sign a formal agreement giving you exclusive rights for all game seasons for one year. $2,252.00

Yes, you can gun or bow hunt anything that is legal. I had only one guy in the past ask about trapping. It was a fair question, so I asked the landowner, and he said no. It isn't my place to question his reason or argue otherwise.

Because the landowner said so.

No, nobody will be trapping fur on the properties.

Hello All, Many of you are woodlot owners. I made an instructional video that discusses the difference in price between retail lumber and standing timber. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6MYNoHhwCE

Nope, wasn't me! Did he have my checkered coat?

That's the old sign! I wonder what they did with that? If I could get the old sign, it would be like a Beatles fan swiping the "Abbey Road" street sign!

Hello All, I made a video that tells the story of a great, secret spot I knew that no longer exists. hope you enjoy it.

Please disregard. I think I already have a leassor.

I really like the Audubon guides, the ones with the vinyl cover.
