Why sure.
Drive across 362 from Ansonia and gaze of to the north and north east while up on the high parts of the road. One helluva vista off in those directions, for many, many miles. And there is no shortage of such vistas in them parts.
All crisscrossed with a hodgepodge of state forest roads, township roads, camps and homes.
Granted, there are lots of roads, farms and small villages scattered out across some of those areas you can see from Rt. 362, but most of it is remote steep, forested mountain land.
Steep forested mountain land. Doesn't mean it doesn't get hunted. It does. Take a ride through that steep, forested mountain land sometime during bear season with snow on the ground. You'll be surprised at the number of human tracks you can run into no matter where you go. Deer season there's even more. Right up and over those steep ridges
I can get up on the highest part of the ridge behind my camp and see clear over to the big chicken farm off in the direction of Whitesville, NY. Crow-wise, it's probably 12-15 miles. In other directions I can see across far more territory than that. Same deal and I've been through some of those areas, which are virtually peopleless and roadless, but for narrow, rutted goat trails. Few venture into them in firearms seasons, especially when the weather is bad and them goat trails are virtually impassable.
Don't know about that notion either. I get over north of Whitesville during the New York firearms season to with a family gang from Little Marsh and Ansonia on occassion. Seems to be enough hunters around most of the days that I've hunted over there. Especially with the advent of ATVs and jeeps. You hunted NY lately?
