Hello fellow New Yorkers,

My first post, although I've been lurking for a year or 2. Great sight, lotsa good info. Anyway, I live on Long Island, and usually hunt public land up in Delaware and Ulster counties. I use a 7-08 Tikka SS lite, Mathews Outback, and Traditions Pursuit LT muzzleloader. I like to get in as much hunting as I can, and therefore, I extend the season with all the weapons! This year, I might try eastern Long Island - they have been pulling some monsters out of there the last year or so. (the reason I haven't hunted out there in the past, is it's such a PITA with all the paperwork, forms, parking permits, etc.)

Well, I don't know about you guys, but my anticipation of opening day just kicked in. Can't wait to get out there. Best of luck to all of you and will see you on the forum.

Stay safe.
