NY Hunters - Oct 24-25 in the Catskills
« on: September 15, 2009, 02:25:00 PM »
Anybody getting together for a hunt in '09?

I won't be able to make the 2010 JLMBH this year.  My wife is due mid January and sneaking off for a weekend with a 2-3 week old infant at home would be grounds for some serious harm done to me... I wouldn't be able to pry myself away at any rate    :)  

I could go back home for a weekend and maybe see a deer, but would rather get together with some of you that I only get to see 1-2 times a year, maybe see a deer and definitely get some laughs in.

Hey man, I have some small pieces of state land. I live near 750+ acres, but I can't bring anyone on it. Im looking into getting in on some other land locally...

There is always the Catskills....  :saywhat:

Getting ready, shooting every day, off to Ill. for an early season hunt in less than 2 weeks. Got a Nov. hunt in Ohio that should be fun. Going with some guys from Mohawk- Hudson Trad Archers. Hunting with Adk- Ken once in awhile, hope to have a good season. Going to hunt the Adirondacks some also, already got a ladder stand set up....won't be long now!!!!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

It's wherever I happen to be Brian.   :goldtooth:  

In that picture, it's in Schoharie County in Burnt Hills State Forest, 10,000 acres.

I live in Florida but have flown back to the Finger Lakes every year for the past 24 years. This year I will be up for opening day until the 25th. That has not happened since I lived there. But I will be going to Canada two weeks later and could not fit both trips in any differently. At any rate I am always looking for new woods. These are getting kind of routine. Would love to scout out some new white tail hangouts

That's a nice camp Keith.

I love that on the video you saying, "Do you trust me?" can be clearly heard LOL!

Jeremy, if you wind up stepping on a deer Im shooting 2 blades this year so I can probably shoot it safely through your toes.  :scared:

So...what are we doing about a get together? I have plenty of room if people are willing to camp...only we would have to drive to the state land(s). Im not allowed to bring people onto the land I hunt.
Or I could contact my Encon friends and find out the good spots in the Catskills...

Never hunted the Catskills, would like to though.Went to Moose River plains yesterday and was scared to death by all of the hunters up there.Never saw anything like it in 25 years.Every camp was packed and we saw nearly 100 hunters.I was the only feller toting a bow and I got a kick outa people taking doudle takes as they drove by me when we stopped to stump shoot and eat a bite in the only unoccupied campsite we could find. No bear sign this year, no beeches to be found.There was a lot of deer sign and we called in a doe with the fox pro.If any one wants to give it a go up there let me know.Deer, bear and grouse will be open next weekend and the hordes of hunters I saw will be gone.As a bonus we might see the 50" bull a fella had pics of.
