When I moved to New York, I thought there would be noone to talk about hunting with....Glad to find this website.

Im 30 yrs old, origionally from Southwest Michigan, moved here 6 yrs ago, now live in Queens, work in a 50 sq ft cubicle in Manhattan, dream of being in the woods.

In MI I did some shotgun hunting deer and pheasant hunting however haven't got into the hang of NY hunting yet. Trust me its a lot more difficult than in MI, I really respect you guys out here, it isn't easy.

Picked up Archery 3 yrs ago since I left all my guns in MI (actually bought a few after going through NYC screening process....not easy! :fie: ) Still haven't taken a NY deer. Dont own any land, still figuring out the public land scene, plus only have a limited amount of days to hunt due to family/work obligations.

Anyways, wanted to say hello, and get to know you guys and learn from you NY hunters. Plan to hunt Fahnestock State Park this year, did some camping/scouting this summer, looks like it will be difficult, plenty of deer sign but alot of hiking those hills. I expect alot of hunting pressure as well. Any kind souls hunting that land that would care to share their knowledge would be much appreciated, got my own gear, am very respectful, thoughtful and always share my meat! lol. I understand hunters like to keep their sweet spots close to their vest, haha.

Anyways, good luck this season, weather starting to get cool. love it.

Wow! I would actually love to move out of New York! Having said that, you might try Lafayetteville MUA, or Depot Hill MUA. Forget about Taconic/Hereford-it's wall to wall hunters. I went there once, late in the season-never again! Stewart State Land is also a good option.

Vincy, where in MI were you at? I went to UofM then stayed in Ypsi for a couple of years before moving back to NYC.

Elmo, love UofM. However I grew up in southwest MI, Kalamazoo. Same school as Derek Jeter (not name dropping).

i've been reading your thread, seems like your hunting hard, atta boy!

I know Kalamazoo. I use to pass it when ever I camp out in Warren Dunes. Going to Michigan is what introduced this city boy into hunting. Unfortunately that was over 15 years ago. Regret waiting this long to finally act on it.

Yea man, opening day when I was in highschool was practically a day off, half the class and even the teachers were out hunting. Thats what got me involved, my family doesn't hunt but my dads coworker took a liking to me and since he only had girls decided to show me what he knew.

However NY is sooo different, so much private land, and since i'm not from here plus living in NYC surrounding by non-hunters makes it tough to find hunting opportunities. Thats why public land is so pressured, but i'm finding you have to really put in some years to know a particular area before you can figure it out.

Welcome to the web site Vince......I used to live in Queens, graduated from Brooklyn Tech and left NYC in 1968.  Traveled the world with the U.S. DOD and also in private business...now living in Essex County (New York), in the heart of the Adirondack Park with 6 million total acres......some of which is bordering my measly 4 acres in Bloomingdale, NY!  LOL

 

There is plenty of public land available for hunting and fishing and hiking and ......whatever.  Too bad most of it is a long way from Queens.

 

Take care and good luck this coming season!

      TTN ALL BOW HUNTERS!
      By CrossOvertheRiverOutdoors
      Hello to all my fellow bow hunters! Here's a question for you, if you had the chance to hunt and win $50,000, would you do it? Well your chance has come! It's the Bone Collector North American Whitetail Championship! The biggest and most exciting deer hunting tournament that's ever hit the whitetail woods! Here's how it works, throughout the USA and Canada, there's 14 different regions, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey would be considered as Region 1, the bow hunter that harvests the largest P&Y scoring buck in he or she's region will qualify for a championship hunt in the land of Giants, (KANSAS) at Wicked Outfitters for a chance to win $50,000!!  You may ask, is there an entry fee? Yes, there is a $300 entry fee, but here's the cool part, when you sign up, the crew at the championship will send you a gear package in the mail with over $400 worth of hunting gear! You will also have your name put in for hunt give away drawings and product give a ways! How cool is that!? You might be thinking to yourself, I don't have a big enough buck to hunt that i can win anything with. NOT the case, if you harvest a buck and enter it into the tournament, you will be put in for another drawing for the Kansas HUNT! How do you sign up? Simply go to www.nawtc.com fill out the entry form that's required for you to sign up, and your ready to go! When your filling out the entry form, you will see where it says referral, type in our email address [email protected] to let the guys at the championship know that your signing up through us! Watch the video below about the Bone Collector North American Whitetail Championship and enter today!  Last year I was blessed to be the region 1 winner of this great tournament, and i'm currently getting ready to head for Kansas for the championship hunt! I couldn't believe that God gave this opportunity to me! Check out the hunt that one me the region and if you want to see how the championship hunt unfolds for me, follow me on Instagram, Facebook @ Cross Over the River Outdoors!

      Self filmed Bow Hunt
      By Hookhunter20
      Just wanted to post a video of one of my successful bow hunts this year. Something about documenting your hunt and self filming adds even more of a rewarding feeling to a bow harvest when it all comes together. *Disclaimer*  I don't think I'm a "pro" nor am I trying to be just love filming and tinkering around with the editing. The audio on the video from my second doe harvest is much better than this one, I figured out a few tricks with the editing software recently and I'll have that one done by the weekend. You can skip through the talking parts if you want the shot happens around the 3:20 mark.

      Want to join hunting club near Elmira
      By Rottiemoose
      Hey everyone. Looking to join a hunting club in light of the upcoming start of the  2017-2018 deer season. I live in Elmira and work a lot, so ideally I would like to hunt as close to where I live as possible. I almost exclusively bowhunt, but will use a rifle periodically. I just moved here from Atlanta about a year ago, so I'm still relatively new to the area and haven't found a place to hunt yet. Thank you!

      Starting an Outfitting Bussiness
      By Hookhunter20
      Hey guys,
      It's always been a dream of mine to someday run an outfit. I know it's no walk in the park to start up a bussiness, espically in a state like NY but I was wondering if anyone on here has any information and tips they wouldn't mind sharing.
