Turkey Hunting

Can anyone recommend some good public land areas for turkey hunting in Dutchess, Ulster, Orange, Putnam counties?

I just posted in the turkey section almost the same question. Not many's gonna give up spots. Takes time, gas, legwork n getting up early to listen

I hear Sterling Forest is pretty good, thinking of trying it myself, although I rather go fishing instead

I know where there is a flock frequently in Sterling Forest,  East Mombasha road in the Doris Duke wildlife sanctuary - no hunting area.  Tried calling them over to a huntable area before, but to no avail.

 

There are in other areas of Sterling that available for hunting too.  Just make sure you have a hunting permit for there.

 

Stewart, but it does get crowded early in the Spring season,  and plan on hiking in or riding a bicycle.

 

Pick up a book or two that Bill Schmidt wrote for some clues about locations in Orange County for turkey.
