what can anybody tell me about beaver meadow state forest for hunting.

[bobprimo]

  I may buy some land and it's connected to that state forest, hows the whitetail and turkey? are there any water issues ?

Give me more of an idea where exactly you are looking at that state forest is 10s of thousands of acres lol i live very close to the state forest. I know deer populations are strong in the state forest and people get coyotes in there quite a bit but not sure about turkeys.

woops sorry bob i thought u put the beaver creek state forest, not beaver meadow. Sorry i dont have much to help in beaver meadow.

My brother owns land on the other side and it's good for both deer and turkey. There is quite a bit of state land there besides Beaver Meadow there is Pharasalia and others. I think you will be happy especialy if you put a food plot in. As a bonus my brother has never had a problem with trespassers like I do further down.

Thanks, I'm around Gibson Taylor rd. & Beaver Meadow rd, I heard there's alot of coyote in that area. Is there a problem with the deer and turkey numbers, because of the coyote ?

[hunter]

I have only seen tracks once or twice. We have a resident turkey flock of about a dozen birds and see deer right up to gun season then they go nocturnal for the most part. We haven't found any kills other than next to the road so I don't think they are too many by us.

[bobprimo]

Thanks Hunter, R you close to me? I'm not very familiar with the area yet.

[hunter]

Bob it's actualy my brother's and he's on Route 80.

[bobprimo]

Thanks again hunter and be safe. If you have any info. to pass on let me know and I'll do the same.

[hunter]

Bob,did you buy the place yet or still thinking?

[bobprimo]

signed the contract, waiting for settlement.
