I grew up in the Northern part of the state and have hunted the mountains since I was 12 and have taken quite a few sly mountain hoppers however since moving to the finger lakes region there is no comparison. While I love to hunt down the mountain bucks nothing compares to lots of bucks and monster ones at that. I have been hunting the finger lakes region for 10 11 years now and have taken a several booner bucks including a2 grossing over 158"'s. It is just a slammer of a sleeper state if you ask me. Here's my first finger lakes booner by bow.
