Pigmy, I use to hunt on a huge farmland parcel years ago when we first went to Steuben County for the opener .
I now hunt outside of Bath , We hunt in Howard ....
Were kinda on the back side of the State land ..
We hunt on privte property .,,, Just up the road abought 15 years or so ago we had abought 200 plus acers of PRIME farm land 5 of us hunted ..
We always got deer and always seen or shot some nice bucks ,.,
Farmer gto divorced and his ex, ended up marrying ( you guessed it ) a hunter , So we lost the property,, AAARGGHH.....
The 75 acers or so I hunt on was another piece of private property we use to only drive deer and never realy hunted ..
We drove the first parcel one day and got 2 nice bucks , both bucks I,d jumped on the way in to start the drive , Unfortionetly I couldnt get a shot at either of them .
We then went to the parcel I hunt now and I was one of the watchers, I ended up shooting a nice 6 pointer ..
I seen 3 bucks alive and then dead within 3 hrs....
Seams like if its cold and a few inches of snow its very good.
When its warmer like the last couple years it gets slow ...
