RE: VT Rifle Season
I'm suprised at the places you mentioned. Lord's Hill is in my parents back yard. Do you know the Carter's? They have a camp on Lord's. One of my favorite places to hunt is between Hardwood Ridge and Spruce Mtn. More specifically the Pigeon Pond area, which is pretty much at the base of Spruce. Beautiful country up there. I know the family which owns the land around Pigeon Pond. It's 4,000 acres which borders Groton State Forest (about 15,000 acres). Where do you fish up here?
I have heard the same thing about the NY gun season. The place we are hunting is a private farm, which I am told is posted. We are paying a tresspass fee for access. Hopefully we won't bump into anyone. I'll find out soon enough.
NH also allows Sunday hunting. I have hunted Pittsburg for several years. Seen a few bucks and even missed one with my smokepole. Like the rest of the north, I though I would give the area a few years to rebound on the population.
