SaintLawrence county

[NYHUNTER92]

I was contemplating getting a place in SaintLawrence county does anyone have any photos of deer taken there or hunt there

[KenAxe-7]

I live in Potsdam and have taken and seen quite a lot of very nice bucks.

what would you like to know? Where are you looking?

[NYHUNTER92]

to see bucks taken in the area what the deer population is like

[bubba]

Is there a particular part of the county? it is actually a very big county with diverse terrain and deer populations. I own in and hunt in 6c which at least in my part is pretty well populated. Other parts deer seem very scarce. So again if you tell me what you are looking for hunting wise, I can give you a better idea of what is available.

i have been looking at three properties in waddington and one in russell.

I do not know about your specific properties but I am thinking that on the average there are more and bigger deer in Waddington( a lot of nice farmland and some large swamps too). But then again I love to hunt the swamps.

I agree that the river valley ag land may have more deer. My camp is not far from russell in the hermon area. I have a good popuilation of deer and bear. You can not hunt bear in the waddington area if that is part of the plan. I seem to be one of the lucky ones as most in my area are not seeing as many deer. The russell area has plenty of ag land also. I guess the bottom line is what you plan to hunt as well as how you want to hunt.

There is some great hunting up around coles creek area.The deer are thick in places and sparce in others. If you want to travel a bit there is some awesome hunting up on fish creek wildlife area. Its big country with swamps and some huge bucks taken out of there. I am from Ogdensburg and all those areas are my old stomping grounds!!! To top it off there is world class fishing,Ducks and geese to dream about and lots of state land that has great hunting.

Fish creek is actually pretty barren now for deer. I hunted those swamps for years before I got private land. I have taken some very nice deer out of there over the years. However, there has been a lot of lets say religious straw hat wearers surrounding the area, and the deer population had dwindled tremendously.

Bubba they are still gettin them out of there. I know of 2 ten pointers taken off the marshall road and a 136in 11 point taken on the backside from going in with canoe's. I hear ya on the hats... They just keep comin!! Its gettin kinda scary at night around the edwardsville area!!!!

[bubba]

iI am not saying no deer in there. I hunted more off 184 back in the walk in access and canoed the creek behind the swamp. There are not the numbers there there were 5 years ago. You stil hear of an occasional good one, but not like the days past. I live in Heuvelton, and we are over run by hats it seems. Tough to get anyone to blow them in. And when you do, they want the jp to feel sorry for them. yeah right. not this one.
