NY is a sleeper state there are monsters coming from NY especially the Central Finger Lakes region. I have been putting consistant P&Y and Booner on the ground for years and with good management have seen some real beasts. Dont give up bro you will encounter a NY giant hopefully this fall!
Hey Canuck...There are a few around but not like out west. That land you are talking about actually became a wetlands preserve this year and is now off limits to hunting so that should help grow some tines in the long run. Land around here keeps getting "chopped up" by people putting a house in the middle of a field. I am part of a lease and we do manage it the best we can so we'll see what this year brings. My uncle has some trail cams set up that I haven't checked yet...This time of year I'm in transition between fishing for Salmon and preparing for bowhunting. This is the first year for this contest so I'm kind of excited.
