Welcome aboard norsemen - While we all know the fishing is great where you are, not alot of people outside NY are aware of the great Deer hunting in Western NY.

Hope you have access to some good private land there - I hear the huntable area around Buffalo is TOP NOTCH.

BOWHUNTERCOP - Elmira is closer to me (60 miles SW). The area south of Elmira is Oak Ridges - 80% 1-1/2 year old bucks and a few good ones - lots of deer. North of Elmira is Fingerlake country - and more agricultural - and almost all private land - lots of deer here too - Better Bucks than south - P&Y is a better bet here - but permissions are hard to come by.
