I am quite desperate in finding places to hunt in Dutchess county and for all of region 3 for that matter, as is the majority of hunters in the area so it seems. I wanted to get some information on Spring turkey hunting on state land in the area. Does anyone have any experience? Will I have to worry about overcrowding on other hunters like in deer season? Are there many turkey hunters in the area? Any suggestions on which state lands see the least traffic?

 

I really appreciate any insight given, thanks

      Spring Turkey Hunt
      By Rick vesely
      I am looking for land for a spring turkey hunt. Coming from Guilderland NY area, near Albany so not looking for too far from there. Any farmers or land owners that want to control the birds in property I can help. Respect the land, the sport, and will leave it as if no one was ever there.

      Tree Stands on WMA
      By BuckSteady
      New hunter to NY here. Found some public land to hunt, it’s a WMA. I wish I read the regs more thoroughly because I threw up a ladder stand yesterday and today when I was re-reading them, I saw you can’t put temporary stands on WMAs, only on state forests and other such state land. I honestly didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to, I even put my name and license # on the stand. I was going to go take it down tomorrow but it’s an hour drive so I wanted to ask, what do DEC officers do if they find a ladderstand like mine on a WMA? Is this an automatic fine or whatever? Will they just call me and tell me to come get it? Confiscate? How often do officers go through areas like WMAs and check for stands? Any info would be helpful. I’ll still probably go take it down tomorrow, although I have seen other stands up on the WMA, I just prefer to stay on the right side of the law myself. Thanks!

      Capital district rod and gun clubs
      By PublicLandOwner
      Anyone here a memember of a green island or any other rod and gun club in the capitalist district with access to private hunting grounds they can recommend?  it doesn’t have to be a large area..
      I’ve been hunting about 6 seasons now,  and am looking to get more involved in the hunting community. (It’s never been a tradition in my family I had to teach myself a lot the hard way,) more importantly I’d like to teach my son what I’ve learned in the field and save him some mistakes later but I worry about other public land hunters in the area.
      The amounts of bullet holes and shells in areas paint a pretty clear picture about who frequents them. I have land 2.5 hours away in smithville, it doesn’t work for a day trip with my son but we visit about 2 times a year. 
      Any recommendations folks?
