allegany state park

[Cattcounty]

I'm just curious if any one of you guys or gals ever deer hunt in allegany state park?

[Cattcounty]

The reason I ask is because I actually work there and I thought if anyone had any questions about the park maybe I would be able to help answer them.

Allegany State Park was just wrote about in the NWTF mag-- Turkey Country. A great success story. You might have Spring hunters writing to you in April Cattcounty about the turkey population there.

I have killed a few nice birds there. Actually my biggest one came from allegany state park. But I guess that's for another forum

I know this thread is a couple years old, but figured it's worth a try. I live in WNY, but I'm completely unfamiliar with alleghany state park. I've been looking for a lease during this archery season to fill my bear tag with no luck. I have permission for plenty of properties to fill my deer tags, so I'm not too worried about that. I was hoping someone can give me some advice on whether or not it would be worth driving down to Alleghany State Park to try and take a bear or if I would just be wasting my time? I have experience hiking miles into deep woods, so that isn't an issue at all either. I'm just unfamiliar with the area and I'm looking to take my first bear. Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The place is full of bear's but they don't allow any bear hunting.

Can anyone drop a hint on some good locations?

Seems to change year to year up there depending on food source. One way I used to speed scout before putting boots on the ground was driving through the park when the leaves started falling and found the oaks easy that way because they were the last to drop. You can glass the side hill and spot those oaks. Also there may or may not be some apple trees in there that produce. Also not sure you’ve ever been there but a compass is a must. Those are some big woods that butt up to the Alleghany Forest in Pa and that’s nothing to fool with
