Buck,

The term "Taconic" is used in that area as a general term, often refering to any place on the Taconic State Parkway. It can also be the town of Lake Taconic etc.

In any case I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same before I responded.

Although I have not hunted that exact piece of land, I hunt many areas not far from there.

Generally speaking I believe the deer herd is in great shape. I usually apply for doe tags in 3f, which is of course on the other side of the Taconic State parkway. This year once again it was no problem getting 2 doe tags for that area as the state agrees with my assesment that there are plenty of deer.

As far as looking for wallhangers, I believe there are a couple of places in nearby Pine Plains that are known for holding some older bucks.

Hopes this helps..

BTW.. the buck under my name on the left was taken close by that area...
