Kidd,
I live in Poughquag. I hunt some of the public areas near mein Dutchess and Putnam counties. PM me and I'll give you some more info on these and some other places that I hunt in the area.
In reply to you and FishFry about Lafeyette; it is a beautiful place, but it is ridiculous for pheasant hunting on opening day there, I don't even bother because of what FishFry said about the parking. I'm a HS teacher, so I usually can run up there after workduring the first few weeks of the season and do quite well. My dog has put up a few grouse there over the past couple of years, but it would be a tough hunt to target just them.
Talk to you later.
