Wondering hows the hunting up there. Lookiking to go to archery only spots come November

Very good!! Since it's archery only there are a lot of big bucks around. Plenty of places to hunt. Most golf courses will give permission to a select number of people a year good luck

Not sure if the records still holds ,  but the New York State Archery ( Typical ) record taken in 1998 came out of Yorktown Heights .

Thanks. Just did the permit. Wana good place to take my kid and nephew. Not teying to bring them around sterling in rifle season. I keep hearing there are alot of deer in westchester so i been lookin into it. Just gotta do some scouting first. Pickin a spot is the worst part when u dont have easy access to an area

The record books show Yorktown, but it wasn't taken there supposedly. Heard it was another town in Westchester.

A lot of deer live in areas of westchester that cannot be legally hunted even by bow...a lot of big racked deer come from those lands(not by me if course-still waiting for my first bow buck-legal would be nice!). Not saying that's what happened but I have seen some bruisers that are living high on the hog in protected areas and Yorktown is a quick drive away to give it the "legal" credit
