No its good time  little rough no shocks on those things .

Have not been in years but i can see that definitely being  helpful in a place like the Adirondacks  wonder what the rules are on those Trails for that.

I know guys that do it. You usually can ride right up to them because they see the horse and usually know they're not a threat

In ulster county. Its easier when you have a lot of land to hunt, like out west, but it is possible here

My dad  told me a one time  the horse they had   when he was kid like when he was  10 years old  ,  bit  him by the pants on his  leg and had him upside down  because my dad was poking him with a nail to get the horse to move . He said good thing his dad was near by to save him or that horse could have killed him .

Seems I remember, about 20 years or so ago, there was an outfitter that did back country horse camps deep in the Adirondacks with big canvas wall tents and the whole 9 yards.

been told by a couple of guys - want to have fun on a horseback hunt - shoot the horse then go hunting.  But have also heard some people really loved it.

Neil Taylor did that back in the 80s and 90s....He is no longer doing it, and may be dead by now...However there may be other guys doing it..

I never hunted with Neil, but several friends of mine hunted with him annually for a period of ten years or so... He set up the wall tents and then packed the hunters back in  on a horse drawn wagon...Once in camp, they hunted on foot...

Back around 1970 my Dad and myself did an 10 day old fashioned Mule and Horse pack train Elk hunt in Colorado, no motorized equipment of any kind. We hunted from Horseback out of  wall tent base camps in some wild country and I still consider it to have been the trip and experience of my lifetime. We had about a twenty mile ride into the mountains to get to our camp and I learned what the term "saddle sore" means, after a few days I was broke in lol. We both got an elk by the way.

One of the local fox hunting groups does their hunts on a couple of the farms I hunt. There have been a couple of times that deer came busting out of the brush, hit the horses and died.

There is a place in stanfordville that does it for fox... I use to hunt there years ago but now it is the tamarack club.  Some real nice bucks there for dutchess county.

You just have to have the right horse. My horse I trust more than 90% of the people i know.

I did it.  We went 14 miles into the ADK to the Cold River near Tupper Lake during the one week where deer & bear are hunted with muzzleloader.  I forget the guys name.  Was just wondering the other day if he was still in business.  Cost $1000 for the week back then.

Check out my YouTube Channel Cross Over the River Outdoors! Most of the New York deer hunts are off horse back. We also elk hunt on horses. Best way to do it!
