New member here with some questions about Cold Brook Hunts

I had this posted in the guides forum but thought it might get more views here.

Hello All:

 

Newly registered member here with some questions about Cold Brook Hunts, in Preble NY. I'm toying with the idea of going down there for a boar hunt and was looking for some feedback from some of you that may have been there. I live in Syracuse and would not need lodging there.

 

Doing some homework on the web, it appears that everyone that has been there has enjoyed the hunt. I was wondering how anyone that has been there from here liked it? Was it good enough that you would go back? Did they process your animal and was there an extra fee for that?

 

If you have been there, would you kindly let me know how it was?

 

Thanks

It all depends on what kind of a hunt you want. I encountered an article on the net that raised a few red flags for me. http://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/11/nyregion/ranch-hunting-one-person-s-sport-another-s-slaughter-business-grows-so-does.html  It's only one article written by someone who may have some kind of agenda, I don't know. But I offer the link only because it does contain two aspects that are troubling for my kinds of hunting. One was that apparently they are guaranteed hunts and the other thing I found in the article was that their whole operation is less than 300 fenced acres. Both of those things would probably end any further investigation for me. But then that is just me and my personal version of hunting. Others may go there and have a great time.

 

I would suggest that you first consider what you want out of your hunting, do a bunch more research on the place to make sure it meets your own personal needs, and then do what you want.

I believe there are a bunch of guys that go from Long Island deer hunters FB page. They always have a great time and love the place. May want to check out their FB page.
