    Any one had any luck for opening day regular season 2019 in sterling state forest park 

    Not on the opening day, but I got a huge doe last Saturday Nov 23. And I remembered also a doe that I got on Nov 23, 2017. Didn't hunt on 2018. Same location. :)

    Hunting on Private Property in Westchester (3S)

    in General Hunting

    Posted · Edited by jackULL

    ChefHunter86, I only have a "Sportsman" pistol permit, which I assumed allow to carry on any outdoor activity...

    Thanks for all the insight. I guess its better to be safe than sorry for a privilege to hunt on private land.

    Will post my deer on the first week of October. ;) Gotta be positive...

    Hunting on Private Property in Westchester (3S)

    in General Hunting

    Posted

    I have no clue here. Can anyone shed a light about hunting on private property;

    - Do we have to follow the hunting dates for bow (Oct 1st – Dec 31st) ? Or can I hunt all year round with permission granted by the owner?

    - Would it consider to be pouching when scouting on private land while carrying firearm or bow?

    - What other limitations or if there's any, hunting in private land?

    Thanks!

    Really glad you like it! I think they are the best rig out right now. Be careful though, very easy to fall asleep in them so make sure you are tied in.

    I know... the sit is too comfy. That's the other thing I was thinking about adding another tie to tree from the waist. Maybe its overkill, but nothing better than feeling more secure above 20-30 feet.

    Let me know how you make out, if you get it.  I've got the "monster" in the UPS system somewhere and I can't wait!  You can view the instruction manual on the millennium site if you'd like a bit more detail. 

     

    Napping... thanks for the great suggestion. This(M7) is a fantastic stand, light & enough room to move around. I was 21 feet high easy climbing with my 3 sticks. Although the bracket adds weight & ratchet loud clicks, it didn't bother me at all, as I feel more safe because of its tightly snug to the tree. I added another 7mm static rope instead of a ratchet strap to the bottom of the stand for added security. Highly recommended for a quick in & out of the tree. SOLID!!!

    I only used my hang on once this year, but I really liked the stir up idea. Seems to me completely safe and adds a good 2-3 feet to the bottom of the first stick. Gets a bit more fiddly higher up but to help down low it's nice.

     

    Yeah, I only use stir up with the first stick out of 4 stick. But will definitely try the 1-stick only climbing up.

    Only reason I can see is if the area one hunts in doesnt have many trees that are condusive to climbers.  If you hunt in a stand of hemlocks, youre not going to get very high in your climber.  If you hunt in a forest of oaks and tulips, the skys the limit.  I have 3 hang ons and a climber.  Im in my climber 95% of the time.

     

    Agreed... That's why Im looking for the lightest hang on stand. Although climbers is just 2-piece carry and light, still picky on the tree selection. I can see that with 1 stick modified with stir-up and a stand will do the job. that's after having more experience with it.

    JackULL, The Millennium M7 uses a hang-on bracket.  Mount the bracket on the tree, then slide on the stand and tighten with one or two straps.  What's nice about this is you can get several of the them (~$30) and have them pre-positioned....multiple sets, 1 pretty comfortable stand.

     

    Yes... Just ordered Millenium Microlite and see if I like it.  And if I do, I will get those brackets to go with different locations.

    I also use the Stepp Ladder, very light too. But I may add a few sticks to carry and the Stepp ladder to leave with those brackets. Thanks Napping

    I do not have this model. It isn't a climber though. It will stay tight when packing in and depending on how you opt to attach it to the tree, it should be solid. No matter how they are supposed to attach to the tree, I always use a ratchet strap or two. Not sure if this uses a receiver or some other mechanism.

    I do know every mellenium stand I have experience with (but not this one) is super comfortable, rock solid and quiet..rarely a noise. I've been in three of the heavier lock-on models and two of their ladder stands.

    If you opt to purchase, don't go through the mellenium site to order though. it will take two weeks or so for them to ship it, because they have to build it. See if you can find online with a retailer. If not, it's totally worth the wait.

    Hi Archers,

     

    This topic must have been discussed here a few times, please redirect me to the right topic as I couldn't find it.

     

    Otherwise, I need a recommendation for the lightest hang on tree stand that is still in production.

     

    Currently I am using XOP medium sized stand, and it weighs about 14 lbs, plus leverage sticks about 20 lbs carrying weight.

     

    I saw Chippewa Ghost, any users? LocOn Light? X-Stand?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks guys for the suggestions & opinions... 

     

    I totally understand that we all share the same public land and everyone has the right of using & enjoying it. The spookers purposely stop walking (three of them) as soon as they found out my ground blind stand, about 25 yards from the hiker trail, and started laughing like mad and talking really loud about their day. They are not in their hikers outfit or even jogging pants, but regular clothes and so much more smoking pots while walking. Of course, perfect place to smoke weeds.

     

    And yes, those deers has rights too, to walk on those hikers trail and of course with nice droppings left behind, which I assume the spoolers don't like. 

     

    Also, If they are real hikers and not spookers, they know how to respect the hunters, as they know the standard forest rules (kinda).

     

    Therefore, I can either call DEC to report the spooker smokers or shoot them with a sling shot with estrous :) :)

    Despite the fact that every time I hunt, those joggers/hikers/spookers loves to purposely disturb my hunt area and me, I've been seeing doe movements. But deers may not hang there for long because of them. How do you deal with those spookers? It is a public place in Westchester county, NY (3S).

    I have the st though not the s. So it includes terrain. Had a great sale last year which included the aerial maps 1 year subscription and a protective case for $250. They seem to go on sale regularly so wait for a good sale, or do a google search to find it cheaper. I've used it for a deer and turkey season plus some scouting this summer and wont leave home without it. it's an amazing tool.

     

    You can probably get an app for  your phone for cheaper, but it'll be useless with a dead battery or poor cell service.

     

     

    Thanks Belo, will check it out.

    Practice Target?

    Well, it was lotta fun today in the woods. Sighted in my bow for 20 30 35 40. There was a DEC lady I believe, who was measuring the tree or something according to her. She just asked me what I was gonna do with the deer I was carrying. :) 

     

    Im not that lucky to have a yard, but it was more fun out there, even if I got lost going back, ended up in swampy area before climbing a stiff terrain & down to the side street. Also learned how compass works for the first time. ;)

    well you can hunt small game with a bow on public land in most places so I would assume so.

     

    Not sure here in Westchester area 3S. But true of what you said, it make sense since small game hunting like for squirrels already started Sept. 1st

     

    Anyone else have any idea or experience or anybody here in Westchester? Thanks for the replies...

    Practice Target?

    Bow hunting is getting near, but I'm still not sure and will probably be not sure about my skills. Although I practice mostly indoor with my bow (20yd) due to availability, it's still different out there plus the adrenalin.

     

    Is it legal to practice target either with 3D or paper target in public hunting area when it's not on season yet? Or, do you know any outdoor target places here in Westchester area? Thanks...
