Recoil Rob

Just saw the same thing in our back yard in a densely populated area in Westchester, buck chasing doe.

I have a 3M and would like a 3N, closer to home. On another note, I know there are always extra 3M's available. Seems like a lot of land over there and it's rifle territory so is the hunting that bad or is it too crowded? Why the lack of interest in 3M?

I usually pull the first 2 DMPs for land nearer to me, 3N & 3G. I got the 3M as a bonus DMP the second time around. Is 3P rifle territory?

Browning 12ga BPS w/ hasting rifled barrel &cantilever scope mount. 3 shot group under 2" @ 100yds w/ Rem. 2-3/4 Copper Solids.

I went twice, 2000 & 2003. There was an nice guy in the Tupper Lake area that ran horseback trips into a camp he had with 2 wall tents, about 12 miles in. The first time I saw plenty of deer, all does except for one set of horns I never got a shot at. The guide passed on a buck thinking one of us may get a chance at him but that didn't happen. In 2003 we had light snow every night and every morning there were plenty of deer tracks to cut, I followed then for miles. Also we had a bear that kept coming within 500 yds of camp. Both times were memorable hunts even though we brought home no meat. BTW, there plenty of grouse around also. We'd do it again in a minute but the man running the operation passed away a few years back.

Trying to work my way through the DEC's interactive map I see that there are quite a few state forests and the like. Does anyone have thoughts about them? Huckleberry Ridge State Forest Roosa Gap Shawangunk Ridge State Forest Bashakill WMA Wurtsboro Ridge Open Space? thanks, Rob

Thanks, I didn't realize Stewart was in 3M. I hunted it years ago and I did not like it too much, too much pressure back then. Perhaps it has changed. Any other public land I should consider? thanks, Rob

I pulled a DMP for 3M this year and would like to see some new territory. I live in Westchester, probably about an hour drive or so, any recommendations for what hunting opportunities I should be looking at for 3M?

+1 and go back to a Monday opener.

Yes, shotgun/handgun/muzzleloader. I hunt private land in Amenia, good numbers.
