New Member and Hare Hunt this weekend

[Arrowsmith]

Hello All. New to this site today. This looks like a great place for info and tips for happenings around the State. I am amazed to see so many coyote posts. I did not know that so many chased them. No wonder they are so smart! Question. My son and I are going to head to adirondaks this weekend from WNY (Buffalo area) with our beagle to try to get a hare or two. We only have one day to hunt (Sunday) and I haven't been up that way in 15 years or more. Anyone care to share a starting point for us so that we do not spend to much time wandering around Sunday morning? I previously hunted Pixley Falls area, Booneville, Lowville, and Barnes Corners, but cover changes a lot in 15 years and I don't imagine my old haunts are what you would call good hare cover any longer. Any help appreciated. Due to the distance involved this is a once a year trip for us. Thanks, Dave aka Arrowsmith

Arrow, I do not know the other areas you mentioned, but a good area is Speculator. You can hunt off the roads on rte 30, pretty much anyplace that has a swamp or thick pines will hold hare there. Let me know if you need more info..  There is a parking area just south of speculator, and if you cross rte 30 on other side of street , there are plent of hare to run there. If nothing going on, head north and anyplace that has a thicket on rte 30, will have rabbit sign ..

Thank you for the info. Do you hunt that area? How much snow is up that way? To much to hunt? Dave

Dave I do hunt that area but have not been up there in over a month.  You may to want to go on better beagling website, and post question for snow depth. There are many guys on that site from up there. GOOD LUCK>>>
