NY NEWBIE

[dxb14]

Hello everyone!

I am new to NY. I have never had a hunting license in the US. I just had a couple of questions. I live in NYC. I wish to hunt with a crossbow. Could anyone of you suggest hunting grounds closest to NYC? Also I am a newbie to crossbow hunting. I would really appreciate it if you guys suggest a good crossbow to get.

Thanks in advance!

hey welcome in queens .First look on the dec website  for regs ,now you'll be hunting on state land so know what the rules are and where you can hunt w/ a crossbow. Now long island would be your best bet [DURING THE WEEK] never on the weekend and you could go to stewart on 207 in orange  but never ever on the weekend its like the tet offensive w/ all the pheasant hunters [its funny I was there and they chased all the pheasants to me [I was trying to bow hunt].and a LOT in Putnam and dutchess cty and if you want to travel bear spring mountain in Delaware cty. stormy gave you a # that's a good place to start. Don't bother calling long island  they all have an attitude just look on line and any questions me and other guys on here will guide you.
