Some nice bucks running the ridges in those parts! Congrats on the new place, and wishing you well during deer season! You are just a short drive out I-88 from me! Thank You, Yep i'm about 4 miles north of 88 at 2100' elevation in the land of beef cattle and hay fields (gorgeous country). I walked the state land a bit didn't see much in the way of Oaks, tons of sugar maples and lots and lots of blackberries, about a 1/2 acre of them 100 yards from my house (tough walking through that though thorns and tangles, lol) Summit, I hunted off of Charlotte Valley Road on a friends 30 acres, (4F) your buddy is on the other side of 10 (4G) lots of big bodied deer.

Got permission to hunt it before officially buying it. Killed my best buck ever on that first day. The hunting was all downhill from there. Sold it a few years later and been in 4F since 2014. Much nicer area and much better hunting. Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowmanMike Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hey Danny,I am in between you and virgil,Cooperstown area. That is a nice buck you got there,congrats. I always want to explore more stateland, I looked at some in your area but never have the time to get to all the places I want to. So many options here and so few people use it during bow season. I have a friend up the elk creek valley that keeps telling me to come and hunt some of his stands but I haven't made it there either...

johnplav Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Nice buck @Danny Don't forget to post a pic of the mount! @moog5050 It's unbelievable how low inventory is, and how fast houses sell.
