Cool, i will. thank you, i also looked around your area broome county looks good. i think that if i bring my son with me i'll need to go somewhere that allows rifle hunt not bow only like my area.

i was thinking of buying a 2 man tree stand with a blind, with about 10 locks on it so that no one takes it

kb777 i hunt out of climbers about 99 percent of the time and on state imo thats the best way to go leaveing a tree stand on state land in ny is like playing the lottery not very good in my area

Get a copy of the Delorme NYS Atlas and Gazateer.
Use it with a list of DEC state lands and you'll find places accesible that fewhunt - especially other then opening day.
