Hi, folks. Just registered, and am very interested in discussing topics related to hunting. I have to admit, though, that I have decided this year, to give it up, due to the fact that I have no place to go anymore in Southern Dutchess. However, I still would like to discuss issues pertaining to hunting, as I used to enjoy it. I hope no one objects to this. Thank you.

I am new also and welcome; sorry that your hunting has ceased.

Good luck and may you find some new locations.

Welcome aboard. The first one never made it threw. Sorry to hear your done. It can be frustrating out there. Keep your head up and look at state land,large parcels.

Dont forget the state land, its always an option.

Send me a PM and I can fill you in on a bunch of places near southern dutchess to hunt. I live in the town of beekman and have lived up here for 15 year after moving from westchester.

Hi, Birdhunter. Sorry for the delay.  Are you referring to the DEP properties? I do have a permit for those. Have to ask you something, though. A sound assumption would be that you obviously bird hunt. How have you done on grouse? I haven't flushed one in 12 years in Fishkill. It would seem that they are non-existent in that area anymore. That was definitely one of my passions. Of course, not seeing one in 12 years, didn't exactly make my hunting experiences enjoyable either. Just wondering if you've had any luck on them.

Aren't there a lot of 'birds' in Fishkill (behind that long fence) trying to fly?

???  Oh wait... you can't shoot them!

Welcome to the forum 13BVET... did you serve?

[hunter]

You can when they cross that fence.
