RE: Hornell, NY area
It's private land. There is a farm which I can "lease" part of it. The owner says they have been practicing QDM since 1996. He only wants mature bucks 8 pt or larger taken. Also encourages taking mature doe. I have never hunted NY before, but am thinking of giving it a try. The hard winter VT, NH, and Maine took last year really put a dent in the deer population. I have hunted all three states, but think it might be better to head south/west for a few years until the heard can rebound a bit.
Just checking to see what others have seen in the area.
Thanks for the reply . . .Rob
