I grew up in Van Buren, and now live in Hampden. I agree with Phil it is real hard to find hunting areas in this area. I do all my bird hunting up north on paper company lands, plenty of old roads to walk. I also go north to chase the big deer. The only time I hunt in the Hampden area is when I take my son out deer hunting. A couple more years and he'll be able to join me for deer camp. Side note...My son and I are fired up for Youth Day this Saturday!!!
