Public Lands in Sullivan/Orange

[dasnauset]

Hey everyone,

   Brand new to hunting with the exception of a 1 day trip to Maine last weekend with a college friend. I'm planning on heading out to Sullivan county this weekend for my first real attempt. I know people don't want to give up their spot but has anyone had recent success in Neversink and/or Monguap Valley WMAs? Any tips for a novice are greatly appreciated.

I realize you said you were new to hunting . This is a perfect learning experience to have a spot picked out well in advance of the opener .

Try to stick with zone 3M in Orange County, MUCH higher deer density, and no antler restrictions compared to Sullivan County 3K zone.  I am not trying to hide the area, or discourage you though.
