  1. Mostly because it’s touted as the best ny county for buck take. We have plenty of does down here but bucks have been hard to encounter. 

    I think it is likely one of the highest ranked counties as far as total deer take and bucks taken per square mile. Regarding average age of bucks taken, I would guess there are quite a few counties that would be ranked higher. Also an important thing to note, the buck take numbers published oftentimes don’t distinguish between whether the deer was harvested on public or private. There is great private land hunting in steuben, that’s for sure.

  2. I hunt those three areas Tracy06 mentioned above. Our group usually consists of 8-12 people, and we hunt quite a bit throughout the rifle season. We usually get a doe or two in our group, but three years ago one guy in our group got lucky and got a nice 4 point.

  3. I hunt a lot of public land in steuben. Plenty of public access, but you will certainly have company. It is difficult to even find a spot that is out of sight of another hunter, at least for the first weekend of rifle. Depending on what type of hunt you are looking for, there are better counties in NY.
