Who hunts Deaware
 

I have a girl friend who owns a 1000 ac + farm in Newark Delaware.
anyone hunt close by who can tell me about the area. She is only
maybe 3 miles from the University of Delaware off of Route 72 .

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Some big dear in pockets up there that can't be accessed. 1000 acres? Wow. If no one has been sneaking on there it should harbour some nice numbers. Need some help overlooking the place?;)

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Nope they keep tight reins on the place been in the family for many years . used to be bigger but some was sold to developers for houses on either end of the road . they used to own the whole road both sides.
one side is woods and the other is woods and fields. My girl says she sees Turkeys that walk up the driveway
and deer too.

Enjoy it, should be a great place.

need a friend? LOL

I dont know of any thousand acre farms anywhere around Newark, her name must be duPont... What road is it on adjoining rt 72. Everything up there is in houses now, when I was a young State Trooper on the road there were a lot of farms up there, used to catch drag racers in that area, that was 40 years ago.......

She sounds like marrying material to me.:D

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

RonM I am trying not disclose the location. But here is a clue ,yes there are houses at both ends of the road they sold the land for developers. If you knew How far the land goes there is an easy thousand ac / with both sides of the Road. At the one end of the Road there used to be a family owned store, before the Houses. Also Remember the Power Lines. I know you know where it is they speed on this road all the time, some end up in the ditches.

White tail -- we are not there yet -- I can drink the milk and not have to milk the cow. We are not in any hurry . They keep Horse there and I am buying one maybe at the end of this week. So it will be just like home.

The only store I remember was Whitemans Garage.. on the corner , Hallock duPont had a farm nearby where he raised Peacocks , stopped in there a few times..one of the guys I used to work with married a caretakers daughter that lived on one of the duPont farms in the area.... Should be lot of deer in that area......

Sniadowski -- he was a mounted police and motor cop in Wilmington - also Attorney general for Delaware

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Are you talking the rt. 40 side of newark?? Or the paper mill road side??

I know the area really really well, wentto UD, live near there mywhole life, I have a friend that killed a monster buck a few yearsago near 72.

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Ed, Rt 72 is Paper Mill Rd., and Sniadowski was a Wilm PD wheel man , never was Attorney General , I think he worked out of the AG's office for a short time,,,, If I remeber he retired as an Inspector.....

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

I did't know Delaware had 1000 acres in it.

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

You joined just to say that

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Actually, Paper Mill Rd. doesnt become Rt. 72 until it passes Possum Park Rd. And I would love to see the piece of property along that road that is 1000 acres. I really doubt that there is enough land available along either side of that road to touch a couple hundred acres.

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Yes he was an Inspector , It was his farm until he passed , He was a mounted officer also I have seen his Saddle, it's still there. I wish I could tell you where it is , I am telling you with both sides of the Road it is a 1000
acres . If I told I would more in likely have to chase people off of it , That alot of hassle . The one part goes back to the river- stream.

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

I dought that blaserman, there's not that many hunters from De here. And if it did come to that you could always employ my presence (free of charge of course)on the property to thwart that;)

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Blaserman - I think I know where your talking about, and it will bea good good area. My dad used to hunt that area back when it was all farm land, he always talks about the good sized deer that were there.

RonM - 72 goes on the south & north side of newark, i wanted to make sure I knew which part it was, cause my friend used to hunt the sunset lake side of newark near 72.

I live on 896 just over the line in Pa. Have for over twenty years. I worked in Newark for almostsixyears.I travel that area extensively. One thousand acres is almost the size of the entire huntable part of White Clay Creek State Parkon the Pa. side. I'm not looking for an argument but I really don't believeanyone privately owns a thousand acres let alone a farm that size in Newark.We had a600 acre farm in the family up in PaHardwoods area and it was big.Having said that, this area is awesome and known for huge bucks. I've seen them going to and from work in that area andI've seen them while hunting the Pa. side of the same general area. Good luck and good huntingand I'm not opposed to getting an out of state hunting license.;)Ken

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

Ed, you're correct about both sides of Newark, Rt 72 starts in Delaware City and runs up to Rt7 Limestone Rd. but the area he is discussing is Paper Mill Rd. we called a portion of it Peaches Hill Rd. I also dont know of a thousand acre farm along there....I really cant say I know of a 100 Acre farm. Most of those farms wer sold for housing, Dempseys, Patterson's Ralph Smith all along Corner Ketch and North Star area, but there should be some deer up there....

Sunset Lake rd= 72 near Old Baltimore pike rd

My apologies. Like RonM,I was thinking up in thePollyDrummond, Possum Park area. I'm looking atGoogle Earth now. If I'm looking at the area thats a lot of woods.

I hunt White Clay Creek throughout the season, that is some awesome land you have the opportunity to hunt man! I have been living and hunting in DE for the past 10 yrs. I just graduated from the University of Delaware last year. All I can say is there are plenty of very very large deer all around White Clay.

1000 Acres is nice, I wish I had 1 acre that backed up or was around that area. I cant imagine how much that land is worth, but I feel safe saying you have some of the best land to hunt on the East Coast brother!! Have a fun season!

RE: Who hunts Deaware
 

If you're gonna do some real hunting you gotta go below the creek. Sussex County (where I'm from) is full of nice big bucks and fat does.

Are you offering;)
