Hell RACK.... you wait until I get up there this spring with my new GPS and I'l give you the damn coordinates to the hot spots. How many do you want to shoot?... How far are you up to walking and dragging? Can you say small hill? If not I can send you the long way with a gentler slope. Dragging out is mostly downhill except the last 200 yards. We also have a local farmer right there that lets us hunt his 250 acres. I can get you in there too. There's a bigger farm down the road about 4 miles that we can hunt also... but he allows others in there so we don't bother. I might have to check out the turkey situation a couple weeks before the season. There were NONE there this fall... ANYWHERE. Last spring was a bust too. We heard one bird gobble in 4 days and he was 600 into some private land.

Just one

Heck, I can walk forever........Long long ways off. But I prefer to walk to my stand in a big full circle.....................Makes for a much shorter drag

I really don't do hills..............can you say deer cart

gentle is good

Just save one good-um for me

Where is East Yapank, NY? This is public land but not hunted that hard once you get off the road a little. The only time I hunt it is right before the gun season. If you're up to a few hundred yards of walking you'd have the place to yourself. We always get off the road and catch them as all the low land road hunters push them up the hill. If you're into 4 wheelin the farmer has been talked into allowing 4 wheelers into the back fields. I don't have one or use one but a couple of the guys that gun hunt with us do. They're surrounded by State land. Don't see many real big ones. I put my buddy in a stand where I shot one 3 years ago and he got a beautiful 10 point with a 20 inch spread. That's the best I've seen come from there. I've gotten a few fair ones but nothing I couldn't better here at home. I shot the 9 point below the day before shotgun season.... he shot the 10 point at 5 yards from the same spot opening day while sitting on the ground. You can tell from the wet hide there are a couple small streams to cross that can have some water. That was the exception though. Mostly little rag horns etc. I did see one really nice buck the night before the gun season this year while bow hunting, but from 60 yards away.[:'(]



We USE to have a huntable population of turkeys but it looks bleak this year just like last. The picture below was opening day 2 years ago. That AM I called in a coyote and these two toms in locations 400 yards apart. It was all over with by 7AM. We were golfing by 9.[:-]

I live and hunt out on Long Island - Suffolk County - Deep in the "burbs"

A big hill around here is 100 ft high.............LOL

Looks like a super buck David - sounds like you have some super land to hunt - all over the place

Now thats the life

We have turkey all over the place but no season[:'(] Maybe next year - so the rumor has it.

[8D] I'm in on a golf tournament. I just gotta meet some of you cyberspace arrow slingers. Have not played much in recent years due to my wife's five year battle with ovarian cancer. I still whack em a couple of times a year but due to lack of playing time my avg. is now low 90's. Like I said, I AM GAME for a mini TOURNAMENT. Don't care where, don't have a GPS but I'm a mailman so I'll find the course just like I find the deer.

OK its done - we're having a golf tourney - how's june sound??
I guess it isn't too early to start a post - i'll start it in Northeast
maybe me an NY Bowhunter can organize somethin'
lets wait and see what areas people are from and then decide where to play - however I'm all for Cranebrook, NYB, if you can get us a good deal

i like the idea of a bow shoot as well

I think I can work something out with the management on a good deal. Keep in mind Bass Pro opens June 9th in Auburn. Let's put it together heck ya never know.

Sounds like a plan.

The whole idea of giving out 7 tags to hunters (5 to most) is the same as saying it is just fine with them if that many deer are killed..........in fact they HOPE that many are killed!!! Remember they hand out as many permits as the herd can handle

What a joke.


I am not as good as a few years back but I have a few rounds in the 70's under my belt..........but now that I have a real life that gets in the way I am more likely to post in the mid to high 80's.

Just imagine the chatter in some of those foursomes []
