Allegany State Park

[Parker]

This is a new thread for State Park hunters. This big woods deer hunting experience is ideal for SOME hunters. I especially enjoy the park....with snow. Muzzleloader season is easy to look forward to at the park.

One for one. Hunted it once , killed a buck once!

Must be a great place to hunt.

I actually plan on trying to bow hunt it early season this year for first time. We will see how it goes. It should be mentioned to guys who haven't hunted it or don't know there are areas of the park that are off limits to hunting. Get a map at the police station in the park when you sign in and make sure you are in the clear. Also there is areas where rifle is allowed now so double check that as well. O and as far as I know there is still no bear hunting at all

State park is an awesome place to hunt. I don't get over there near as often as I'd like but the hunts are always memorable. It's not the easiest place to kill a big buck but there are plenty of them roaming around there. With about 65000 acres it's pretty hard to get crowded by other people. If anybody who's never hunted in the park ever gets a chance, I'd definitely recommend trying it at least a couple times.

We use to hunt Allegany State Park back in the late 70's early 80's. Always rented a cabin on the McIntosh trail. We would harvest a couple doe every year and a buck or two every couple years. only allowed 3 shots and a shotgun only rule. They were all smooth bore then!  Oh what fun. I wondered a couple years back how the park is doing for hunting. Should think about making a summer vacation back there and do a little scouting for a bow hunt.

The family and I have started a men's weekend up there for 3 years now. All 6 of us have never seen a tail. I prefer to stay on other properties I hunt since I'll see deer there. Although the beer seems to taste better on them cold nights at camp
