I live down in Steuben county (8T), but I hunt in 8X,8G, and 8H. Very quiet year in 2015 in all 3 zones from my perspective. Here's hoping 2016 is a rebound year...Shoot straight

Will be hunting the western edge 8H this Fall on a new lease. Winter trail cam pictures look pretty promising for herd numbers and maturing bucks. 

Last year, I hunted mostly state land (archery) and found the number of hunters seemed to have risen dramatically. I was walking in over a mile and into swamp setups (on weekdays) with my climber and still kept tripping over other hunters or their pre-positioned ladder stands). I've usually gotten it done on state land, but noticed the last few years its been getting tougher during archery due to more hunting pressure. I hunted some obscure and poorly marked state land and it appears those have been found. Looking forward to a little breathing room and better opportunities!

I have not seen and turkey sign yet, but hope to see some in May.

I'm in  8h Leroy area we have good numbers where I am but this land is new to me like a month ago so I'm still learning it. Hoping for a monster buck got a nice doe already.
