RE: How Much Land ?
I hunt all over NY. Just south of Albany on a 600 acre dairy farm (it's kinda broken up and oddly shaped and feel it is not enough to hunt. Neighbors are nuts and there are gunshots all over the place. Last year there were fights breaking out....such a shame. Up north I hunt in Old Forge (Adirondacks) not many deer but the ones that are there are brutes. Have yet to see any other hunters other than the guys I was with. Literally 1000's of acres to choose from - no quads allowed tho[&:]. Out in Steuben County (south of Rochester I hunt on 280 acres of private butted up against 7,200 acres of State land. I have yet to even come close to hunting the 7,200 of state. The other 280 is such great habitat and the success rate there is so high there's no reason to leave. Someday I'll pack a tent and 2 days of food and do it, there have to be some old unhunted monsters there....
