Chenango county ?

[lonewolf5348]

I been hunting delaware county for more then 40 years but this year I was asked to hunt in chenango county state game lands with a friend who needs help getting about in the woods(handicap)
I would like ask the guys that hunt this area mcDonough state forest i know there is tons of state game lands up there my buddie lives about 5 min: from there he has a permit to hunt from a mule or (quad 4 wheeler) I wonder how heavy is the pressur on state game lands up in this county

My friends have a camp in Chenango co. in North Pitcher.I'm not sure how far that is from the area you're talking about but the state land there gets hit pretty hard.On the other hand there are plenty of deer as well.From what I've seen they have good numbers of all critters-turkeys,grouse,etc also and the fishing's good to.

I hunt stateland in Chenango County outside of S. Otselic along with my 38 acres. I never have any trouble finding deer anywhere I hunt up there. Pressure can get a little heavy on opening day, but after that the place is devoid of hunters. Of the deer I've taken in Chenango, all have been during mid-week while stillhunting, after everybody has left.

Turkeys are numerous to.

I hunt McDonough State Forest - like Bernie said, heavy pressure early in the season (bow and gun), but it drops off quick after the first week - good deer numbers, I usually see deer every time out

There's alot of access there, truck trails, snowmobile trails, finger lakes trail, etc. that should make it not too bad to help a handicapped hunter get in the woods -

My father has a place in Chenago and i have been hunting there as well as my friends uncles place. GOOD deer numbers as far as i can see. Although some of the areas are a little on the thick side with Hemlocks but otherwise good deer denisity. Havent hunted State Land but plenty fairly large tracks to get it done.
