RE: Anyone hunt in NY catskills state park?
If you indicate the general where abouts of where in the catskill park I probably an give you a sense of how the area is.
As far as Phoenicia is concerned you will be very likely dissapointed in the deer numbers,they are very low.There aren't many hard hunting locals who are killing big bucks in that and the surrounding area's so the liklihood of some one who is not familiar with the area coming in and doing well there is quite remote.In most of the management area that Phoenicia is within no DMP's have been issued for a number of years.The deer numbers are way down.
I live 10 miles from Phoenicia.
