Hey everybody. Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. As you can see from the screen name, there are two of us. My wife and I love to fish (Largemouth, smallmouth, crappies, perch, sunnies, whatever else...oh and of course Stripers!!). We also love to hunt, mostly bow. I do gun hunt but she doesn't as of yet. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to the community and if anyone has or knows of any hunting opportunities in Westchester, Putnam or Dutchess, I'd love to be considered. Thanks again and good luck hunting!!

Joe

Welcome to the both of you to the site. Jump right in and give us your 2 cents. You'll find that it's like one big family here. Thats why we bicker sometimes. And as family it should be perfectly ok to just check out the members site map and pick a piece of property that looks promising in those counties you listed. Then just show up on opening day of bow. I'm sure that will be just fine with the guys/gals on here..

OK. Thanks for the welcome everybody. Dave6X6, that's funny. Thanks. I know WAY better than to show up on ANYBODY's property on ANY day during ANY season. Like I said, "New to this site, but not new to hunting by any means". @ NFA-ADK: I've hunted Ninham several times for pheasants and quail with my dog. Also tried one site in Brewster, can't think of the name of it right now though, but hunted for deer there, right off 22, close to 312. Several spots that are DEP land along 301 in Kent and Carmel are good, although some are very crowded with guys hunting. Fahnstock Park has always been a favorite. Shot a monster gobbler there several years ago!! Huge Boss Tom...very nice.

Anyway, thanks for the welcome guys. Be safe.

Someone told me that Fahnstock will only allow bow on deer. I guess I was mislead. When I camped there last Spring, I had gobblers walk less than 10 yards from me like there wasn't a care in the world. Do they allow any other types of hunting on Fahnstock?

Elmo, You can hunt turkey on Fahnstock. One month before the season they start giving permits to hunt turkey there. You go to the park office on 301 and fill out the application. You can also get a permit for Hudson Highlands which is another great spot.

Thanks PapaBear. Elmo, You can hunt turkey at Fahnstock with gun or bow. I forgot to mention..there's also another spot on the Taconic that permits are given for, by Fahnstock. It's called Stillwater Pond. I had 2 coyotes come within 10 feet of me while turkey hunting there with a shotgun a few years ago. Nice spot.

      New to hunting looking for advise
      By Rampage
      Hey everyone 
      I'm knew to the sport and looking to learn as much as I can. I was suppost to go up to sterling with a friend of a friend but the guy had been dodging me. So I've decided that I will head to sterling or Stewart forest by my self this Monday 10/09/17 and wing it. Maybe walk around with my bow and see if get lucky. Worst case scenario I get good excerside out of it. If anyone could help out either teaming up or letting me know where to go I would greatly appreciate it. Also if anybody knows of a butcher and the prices so I can take my deer when I harvest one. I live in NYC even tho I would love to see my neighbors faces as I carry a deer from my car to the 5th fl of my building I don't think it will work out.
      thanks in advance for any help and for taking the time to read my post

      Never hunted before
      By jeff1211
      Hello, I just discovered this forum. I have never hunted before. I just recently got my hunting license and took my hunting and bowhunter courses. We are in the midst of spring turkey season and I was really looking for a mentor/partner to guide me so I don't miss the season. I live in rensselaer county in rensselaer but am willing to travel to you for the sake of public/private land. I am very much a subsistence hunter right now (I would like to use the meat/animal I kill) but may eventually go for trophies (still want to use the animal though). I am very willing to learn everything there is about each of the seasons and animals and about field dressing. I was hoping I could get someone to go out with before the spring turkey season ends. I am mainly available weekend mornings but can move my weekdays around a little if needed.

      Portable Hoists
      By huntershoists
      Are you an outdoorsman? Do you hunt frequently? Do you experience the struggles of lifting your deer, elk, bear, or other kill onto your truck, ATV, or Gator? We’d like to interest you in our hunting hoist. My sons and I also had these problems. I created a solution with my portable hoist system. Our simple to use design allows flexibility to your hunt that other hoists can’t compare to. Simply attach our hoist to a tree, tie up the feet, crank the line, and you’re on your way! Check out what other customers had to say at http://huntersportablehoist.webs.com/testimonials where you can also find easy to view tutorials. For more information, please contact me, James Owen, at [email protected].

      (Dutchess County) New Turkey Hunter- Advice Needed
      By tonyc26
      Going upstate (from nyc) for Spring Gobbler this weekend
      I've never hunted for spring gobbler, nor in NY, we usually go to PA during deer season
      Just got all my tags and permits, and were going to be heading up to Dutchess County on Friday
      As of now we intended on going to the Taconic-Herford Multiple use area, also considering the Baxtertown Woods WMA and Taconic State park
       
      Are these good spots to hunt? 
      Does anyone know of any Public land out in / around Dutchess County with a healthy gobbler population ( not asking for your hotspot, just a vague location or park to go to that allows crossbow / bow hunting)
       
      Also any advice? I have a mouth call that I've actually (I think) gotten pretty good with (been practicing).. Wondering things like
      how far should we walk in from the road? 
      how long do you sit before moving on to a new spot?
      Do you walk around and call and then post up, or post then call.. I've heard of both not sure which is better!
      It's not too late in the season right?.. I hear New York Gobblers move up until late june
      Also what time is the best to go.. We intended on going at sundown. 
       
       
      Sorry if i sound un-experienced, I am, just got into hunting last year.
       
      Any Advice is Greatly appreciated.. Mostly need a good location to hunt, but any advice will be more then helpful!!
      Thanks in advance

      Hey there, 
       
      Brand new to this site and was hoping to meet hunting partners in the NYC/Westchester area. 
      I've been only hunting for about 2 years now but its slowly consumed my life. Looking to learn and enjoy the outdoors with others.
