sits in trees

hate to dissapoint you but the hunting in most of the carskill state park area is pretty bad and has been that way for a long time. it's mostly very mature hardwoods not much cover, poor browes, steep, bad winters,to many yotes, no agriculture, ...the deer take is very low, little to no doe permits, hardly any hunters to move deer. i have hunted from the southern catskills, rt 28 olive, phonicia, shandaken, right west to margeretteville, all the way to the northern catskill regions of windham, hunter ashland, jewett etc for 2 decades and simple got worn out from the lack of deer and seeing very few good bucks in all that time.

i now hunt lower ulster and orange counties, much better hunting. i'm sorry but this is just the way it is up there...
