Well if you want to hunt in Schoharie County, there should be some DEP land to hunt. The New York City water supply is in the Catskills coming from a few reservoirs. The DEP has bought up tons of land around the reservoirs in order to protect them. Sometimes the land they buy is miles from the water itself. You can obtain a free access permit and free hunting permit to hunt this land. Not all of it is open to hunting, but about 33,000 acres is open to hunting. I hunt it pretty often and almost never see anyone in the woods. Also, there is plenty of public land in the Catskills that I hunt that are rarely hunted by other people. The deer densities aren't always there, but there are plenty of land to go and find 'em. Hopefully this helps.
