Davidmil is right, Northeast NY is big woods country........like 5-10 deer per square mile. It's tough to kill one with a gun up there, much less a bow. If you want to come to NY, my suggestion is central NY. Anywhere from Madison County, Otsego County, and Tioga County is fantastic. I hunt Otsego County quite a bit, as well as Bradford County, PA and I honestly believe this southern tier area of NY and northern tier area of PA is the best deer hunting in the northeast part of the country.
What part of S. NH are you from? I have lived in both Dover and Keene.
Sorry Rick James, I forgot I posted this...
Salem area right over the Mass border, closer to the Dover area that you lived in.
I was fishing Lake Ontario over the summer in Ostego county area and do recall seeing a lot of deer.
Good info. thanks.
I have also talk to an aquaintance @ the yearly x-mas party who has a camp on the PA border and he has said the same thing about the population of deer.
Any state lands in particular you could lead me too?
Or swap a long weekend with each other? Don't worry it's only huntin' thing - ha, ha!
