Took a ride to my spot in Cazenovia NY yesterday for i think the last time this season, didnt hear a gobble until 6:30am, and ended up hearing between 4-7 birds going. worked them untill 8:30 with no results...so i took some pics of the area, Click on the pictures themselves for a fullsize.

Nice looking turkey territory ya got there. I hunted Madison county for 2 years while I was in college at SUNY Morrisville. Its awesome turkey hunting out that way...some of the best that I've ever experienced here in NY. In fact, I killed my first spring longbeard out there. A couple of buddies and I hunted on several farms in the town of Eaton and Nelson. The birds didn't seem to get pressured nearly as hard as they do here in the western Finger Lakes region where I do most of my hunting. I'd like to get back out there and do some more turkey hunting on of these days...maybe next year.

No Kidding, I think since ive gone down 3 times, I've heard 3 shots in approx. 9 hours of hunting...It was crazy.

I love it down there, we deer hunt the property and on several occasions i've seen 25+ deer come through at a time, and in deer season we've seen well over 70 birds. It's awesome.

Those are some great pics!! Can you see the wind mills in Caz from there. My gramps has a house on the north shore of the lake and on a clear day I can see the windmills perfect.

Looks like some awsome hunting property... Shouldn't have any prob tagin out there;)

RE: My Territory...
 

You're makin me miss NY. I lived in Liverpool a few years, got interested in turkey hunting there. Never did hunt them, but did see a bunch of birds in the fall while hunting deer...

MDManiac I used to fish Oneida Lake many years ago some of the best walleye and bass fishing around is the fishing still good?

RE: My Territory...
 

Yea, It was....I dont usually fish for bass, so i cant help you there, but the DEC raised the legal limit for Walleye to 18 3 years ago, best move they've made, but then this year reduced it back down to 15, which is dumb...alot of the MIA Walleye's are being sold to other states by the DEC, so it's thier own fault...Otherwise, it's still good fishing.

That is some good looking ground! Looks like a fun place to hunt.
