Rob not too late for this year for throw and grow. I threw it down in September and it grew Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Throw and grow will work. I used it last year for the first time as a trial and just used my foot to kick away leaves. Barely any sun. It grew pretty good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Makes sense. Wolves eat or push coyotes out of the area. Every wolf hunt I've ever been on they say if you are seeing lots of coyotes hitting the bait, wolves aren't nearby Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's 2 record book wolves that my dad laid out to rest. Over 30 full days hunting over several years before finally getting a shot. Like I said previously, they are no match for hunters. Even trappers with snares in Canada struggle with catching wolves. They'd rather starve to death than come near a human Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, he hunts alone all the time and just enjoys being the woods even outside of hunting season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rob - $40k could get 10+ acres in Delaware county easily. Again, he's not interested in a cabin/home. Just 1 of tons of examples http://www.landwatch.com/Delaware-County-New-York-Land-for-sale/pid/303765669 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. He doesn't want to build, but what you described makes sense.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thx for all the comments guys. He has been walking some property in the Catskills (15 acres or so) and walked a nice piece in Putnam today (5 acres but borders over 1,000 of non buildable land Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks all. Steve - Thanks for the input. He doesn't care about a cabin or building a home on the land. He is also fine with AR's and has 0 interest in shooting does. I'm trying to steer him towards vacant land in Putnam county/Dutchess county where at least some day when me and my brother inherit it, it is worth something for someone who wants to build a house, but then taxes are of course many times higher for my Dad until then. I'd rather him get 4-5 acres bordering unbuildable land closer to home than 15-20 acres up in the Catskills, but he seems to want to rifle hunt again and for now we do still have a spot to shotgun hunt in Putnam county that has produced many bucks over the years.

I'm not ready yet. 85 degrees all weekend. Golf and the pool for me! Though I may finally put cams out on Sunday. ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll start off by saying that I disagree with this idea, but my Dad (61 years old, but still in very good shape) is very serious about buying land in the Catskills. I disagree with wasting money on land like this as opposed to either buying land in a more profitable area (closer to NYC) or just spending the same money to go on a bunch of hunts. But this is what he wants to do since he has already killed a variety of species across the US and Canada, but still loves his whitetails. Anyway, he really misses rifle hunting and now that he is retired, he wants a piece of land he can call his own and use round (shooting, walking around, scouting, hunting, etc.). For many years (before I was born/when I really young), my Dad hunted Margaretville, Arkville, etc. in the 70's and 80's with friends and his Dad and they killed some nice bucks. He is looking to spend approx $60k cash (or less) with taxes around $1k per year. He has been looking at several properties in Delaware County, which is about 2 hours from his house in Putnam County. I suggested maybe looking in Orange, Ulster, Sullivan, where it would only be like 1 hour from home. For those of you familiar with these areas, what are your thoughts on areas to look at, type of land, etc.? he would be interested in putting in a food plot if necessary as well. Thanks in advance.

Looks great! What's next? Leopard would be cool! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So on the avg $5k x 25 is $125k gross. To calculate the NET, I would need assistance. I'm no farmer, so I have no idea what it costs to raise these deer, etc. I guess to be honest, I'm a little surprised. With all the $ comments you made, I was expecting millions, not 5 figures.

Define success. Because in your post shown below, it appears there is not much $. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

NY whitetails would be no match for wolves, and NY hunters would be not match for wolves. It would get out of hand very quickly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It didn't change in 3N. I'm just saying if it did then maybe there would be less guys in the woods. I don't know anyone locally who shoots does so I'm thinking they just wouldn't hunt and be in the woods a lot less. I'd say the buck to doe ratio at the local butcher whenever I go is like 30 or 40 to 1.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why wait for 10/1? If they are going to break the law, why not shoot one in August or September? Out of season is out of season, whether that is 10/14 now or mid August. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
