Hey all would like to know if there is a good piece of state land to hunt in or near to Roscoe/Livingston manor I'm going to be working in the area and realy dont want to miss the few day's of gun season we have left.I do not have doe tags for that area but that's ok I have my Buck tag.With the time I will mostly be scouting and posssibly put a big Buck down,Any sugestions and is this rifle or shot gun?

Dom check Fur, Fin & Feather on the Debruce Road just outside of Livingston Manor past the Rte 17 underpass, they would know. There's a piece at Lake Waneta on Beaverkill Road that i used to hunt and then at Camp Bethlehem just down a little farther and driving to Beaverkill Campsite, make a left at the Craigie Clair Road and about half a mile down there's a church, you park there and walk in the back. Haven't hunted them in years but they were state land. I checked on the state interactive map but you have to contact regional DEC to find out if hunting is still allowed. I was interested in them for small game, used to be good gray squirrel on those pieces. But, Fur Fin & Feather will have the latest and greatest news. Or ask Pete at the Robinhood Diner, he'll know places too.

Lake Waneta now has a house right by the lake, making it a bit tougher with the 500' rule.

That sux. I see on my other pieces they have hiking trails and snow mobile trails. Hope they aren't gentrifying my hunting land

Years ago I hunted at Russell brook. It was actually my first deer hunt and I was woefully unprepared. Woke up to 5 in of snow on the ground and whipping wind. Snow dumped out of trees all day LNG, soaking me.
