Sullivan & Delaware County. New in area. Looking to meet some fellow hunters...

[BBauer]

I am new in the area (Callicoon).

Looking forward to get some advise on public land options. Maybe some club recommendation .... Anybody familiar with http://sunrisefarm.org/ ?

Trying to find some fellow hunters to team up with ....

 

Anybody looking for a hand in a drive or to go for a few outings, let me know, would be thrilled to tag along and meet some fellow local hunters.

 

Regards,

Boris

HI, there is several pieces of public land in your area. Most of them are good but do require a good deal of scouting to find the deer etc. Also not a lot of hunters in the bow season, but come opening day of gun the orange tide is in. I still find deer but you got to walk in another 15 minutes to get away from the road hunters etc.

 

I hunt about a hour north of you in North Pharsalia state game land, there are two pieces that equal 15,000 acres. Over the years I have come to know them like my own and get to see lots of good bucks in the bow season and also to take a few in the bow or gun. But it does take time.

 

In the early bow the deer are close to farms that still have standing corn or other food , when it gets to be the last week of Oct, they seems to just be getting back in the pre rut and also are now feeding the woods...

Hi,

 

Thank you for the reply. I will check out North Pharsalia after this season and scout it. For now I probably stick with Bear Spring Mountain. I have scouted it saw some bedding and feeding areas and figured out an approach that will bring me in from over 2 miles off the road moving down into the valley from morning to afternoon. Let's see how that works. Should hopefully keep me away from the crowd.

 

Any other advise is greatly appreciated...
