Shotgunning New York whitetails a memorable experience

Featured, Features, Hunting, National Hunting, New York /

One early fall day many years ago, a friend asked me if I wanted to spend a weekend with him and his cousin and his cousin’s buddies hunting deer out of their Southern Tier camp in New York. At the time, I preferred hunting solo, using the still-hunting and stalking method for getting my venison. However, curiosity got the best of me.
Back then, Sunday hunting in New York’s Southern Zone, was prohibited, and shotguns were the only legal hunting implement allowed during the regular gun season. I decided to take him up on his offer.

Bowhunting Bushytails: Here’s how to do it if you’re up for a challenge

One of my favorite places to bowhunt nut-fat, gray squirrels under the brilliant colors of freshly turned autumn leaves, is a damp lowland I call, the “tiny woods.”
If I had to guesstimate its size, I’d say that miniature woodland takes up about 3 1⁄2 acres of river bottom. Its configuration is akin to an old tobacco pipe, large and squarish at one end, then long and slender at the other end, but, without the downward curve of Sherlock Holmes fancy Calabash pipe. What the tiny woods lack in size is more than made up for in mature, mast producing trees, which attract numerous gray squirrels, red squirrels, and their smaller cousins: chipmunks.

Deer living among the patchwork of farm fields and croplands are pressured more than their deep-woods, high-mountain-top living cousins.
