RE: Hornell, NY area
I hunted near Almond a few yrs back and used to hunt near Binghamton when I was a school. These are all great areas but it would seem that if you can join a lease then do it as the locals do hammer most of the properties.
QDM has been on going in Steuben and Allegheny counties for several yrs now and the results are begining to show.
Also, blaze orange is NOT required for some strange reason in NYS.
