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...

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      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.

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!
