Its not too easy to get away with poaching in sterling these day though, they made the hunting program pretty strict now. Rockland county is really bad though, many good buck dont make it to bow season!

Interesting. I couldn't imagine there are many left in a place like Rockland county with it's property values. I would think they would have all sold out to the city slickers by now. They could buy a big chunk of land elsewhere for what a house and small acreage goes for in Rockland county. I would think they would prefer money over poaching, but maybe I'm wrong.
