So I am going to be hunting the state land behind some family property in the Catskills, it will be in the 3A zone and Ive hiked most of the land nearby and its quite steep with a couple clearings here and there. I don't plan on lugging a tree stand in on state land, so my strategy is going to be this. Sat the 17th, before the suns up hike up the mountain to a clearing about 1.5 miles and 1500 feet of elevation later up the mountain, find a large tree and sit in front of it facing the field and basically just wait there all day and hope something walks by. ill have a backpack with me, with a few items should I get lucky. 6x8 tarp to wrap the deer up after field dressing to help drag it down the mountain. 2 sharp knives, 1 for doing the butt area, then 1 for doing the rest as to avoid contamination of the meat 50ft paracord, to wrap up the tarp and make a pull rope some latex gloves ziplock bags, 1 for the heart 1 for the liver and my uncle said put them on a cool rock nearby to start cooling them down, 1 for my trash/gloves couple zipties and looking into some sort of deer pull to make things easy on the way out if I manage to score one. Thats my plan in a nutshell, This is my first time "hunting" and Im looking forward to it, I just figured id post my idea of what I want to try and see if any more experienced folks could chime in to say if im on the right track or maybe some advice on things to do Thanks! -Dors
