Putnam/Rockland

[YFKI1983]

Does anyone know of state forest in Putnam or Rockland I can hunt? Preferably one that may have a deer that lives there.

 

I am pretty sure those are shotgun only areas

Rockland has no public land that one can access without going through private land. I know because I hunt here. 90% of rockland is also now only due to town Ordinance… ask Biz about Putnam

DEP lands in Putnam have deer. Try midweek for less crowds. Just check the signs when you park, some of them have Antler Restrictions (Kent ones I think).

Hopefully this link works for you. Scroll to whatever county you want and then click in for map and regs. Not at all are hunting so check the signs when you arrive too

Thanks. I am in white plains and was hoping to use some remaining vacation days some place local.

Hopefully I can get out there.

Have you tried sterling, Stewart, bashakill, minawaksa?

Those allow rifle as well.

I could meet you at sterling on day and show you at least a good access point. One that was shown to me by a old member… the guy obsessed with morning doves for the old timers here.

I've heard of sterling but never been. I've actually only hunted some Public land near our property in deposit. Only bird hunted thoigh.

Sterling would be a good place to start. A park pass can be obtained for $5 its about a 45 min drive from white plains

I hunted California Hill state forest many years ago. Could not tell you what the current situation is though. If you Google California Hill, you can get more info.

I live in white plains. Our property is 3 hours away in deposit. Just don't know if I can get back out there before season end. I was up there almost half the days in November. My wife will shoot me if I try leaving again.

Sterling Forest is another of my " go to" Turkey areas. 
 The Deer are there.

I sent you a pm about this about a week ago now William and I have not heard back I’m very disappointed

Ninham mountain used to hold some deer but gets hit hard during gun opener. Park at the top and walk the logging road to the left and hunt some deeper parts to the left of the logging road…some good swamp-ish areas.
I killed my first deer (7 pointer-shotgun..no rifle) up one of the steep hills to the right of that road on an opening day
