Hey gallo, at the peninsula, go as far out as you can. Once it starts getting pressure the deer really get pretty far out there. Easiest way out is to walk the waters edge not as thick and a easier walk. Just avoid the swamp to your left as you walk in. Or you could just call jmp5008 or myself and we can all meet upstate.

I usually walk in on the north side opposite of the swamp, should midway in be better or go a little farther 

[Scouting public dep areas]

I've  recently started hunting DEP property in westchester county over the past two years, mainly big peninsula on kensico resivour and turkey mountain in Yorktown. I was able to do some pre season scouting but not much.  While scouting I'm looking for heavily used trails, dropping, scraps and rubs and while I have found some, during  hunting then the past couple of weeks I haven't seen any deer in both locations. My main question is am I missing something? Should I be looking for anything else? Or how far into the properties should I be going and is the distance I travel going to be different in the morning than the afternoon? 

Thank you in advance
