Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge

Has anyone hunted here? Looking into doing some bow hunting in the refuge this year. Was wondering what kind of pressure it receives, access points that are most commonly used, etc.

I just went for a walk up there last gun season,it was kinda busy then,guys doing drives. I imagine bow season will be different. I was in one of the more northern parts,lots of trails and ponds there,looked pretty good to me.

Every time I drive by it on the Thruway, I wonder how the hunting is, and if there are any big bucks in there???

My brother and I took a couple pokes around it a couple years ago. It takes some legs on the ground. We found a lot of water to be hiked around. There was good sign and my brother actually walked into a big buck, no shot with the bow. There is a member or two on here who has hunted it. Maybe they will pipe in. It covers a lot of area and scouting would be paramount.
