You are welcome to hunt with me anytime Doc. Short 2 week rifle season here in Vt with so so hunting but a longer one in both Maine and NH. I really enjoy hunting in either Maine or Northern NH on Thanksgiving week. The big guys are usually running and often there is snow. I plan to try the vast Adirondack forest in Eastern NY...possibly this year or next if I don't go to NH or Maine. I havern't hunted it but have some friends who do and they have great luck. It is big woods and high mountains without a lot of hunters who are willing to get back. They have a real long season in NY and you can hunt pretty much all fall into the end of Dec depending on the zone. I have hunted the south central zone in Steuben County 4 out of the last 5 years the week after TDAY but we have switched to Ohio in that week. Our first year Ohio hunt wasn't all that impressive with only 1 nine point for 6 hunters. We are going back to an area a little more south in Pike Cty this year and I hope we get a better hunt. Lots of people and small parcels in that state but they do have some nice deer and the group of guys I go with is tops. Much of October will be in Colorado again this year. Since I started to go far away it is harder to find the time for NH and Maine. That is one reason why I might give the Dacks a close look either this year or next. Only a couple of hours away as opposed to 4 for NH and 6-10 in Maine depending on where I go.
