It’s a state wildlife management area with many names over the years, but these days – actually since 1994 – it’s known as the Stanley J. Hamlin Marsh Wildlife Management Area.
It’s a unique parcel in that it draws more attention from waterfowlers and trappers than it does from deer hunters.

A pair of men, one posing on Facebook as a female wildlife photographer to gain access to properties, have been charged and fined in connection with the illegal killing of two big bucks in western New York.
New York Department of Environmental Conservation officers said Jayson Zorda, of Oneonta (Otsego County), and Kevin Butler, of Afton (Chenango County), traveled to the Erie County town of Tonawanda to illegally kill the bucks in an area closed to deer hunting.

It’s not the biggest wildlife management area at just 250 acres, but when you’re looking for public hunting access in southeastern New York, the Baxtertown Woods WMA isn’t to be overlooked.

Hunting in Long Island’s Suffolk County is, in many ways, a different world than the rest of New York State – certainly a world away from the vast tracts of the Adirondacks.

These days there are countless hunting, fishing and trapping shows on TV, on stations such as The Outdoor Channel, The Pursuit Channel, The Sportsman Channel, World Fishing Network and others. And, oh yes, don’t forget YouTube and its maze of options. Some shows are better than others; some are much better. I watch a few and avoid most.
But when I was growing up, there was only one hunting and fishing show. And every Sunday at 3 p.m. I was glued to the TV, watching “The American Sportsman.”

Sportsmen hearing the words “Chautauqua County” might immediately think of Chautauqua Lake, and with good reason. The big western New York water is regarded as one of the finest fisheries in the state, with walleyes, bass, muskellunge, and panfish attracting scores of anglers during both the open-water and ice-fishing seasons.
But Chautauqua County and, in fact, all of DEC’s Region 9 also offers some superb hunting for both big and small game.

Parker Bradley isn’t your typical 12 year old. He collects tractors – real ones, not the toy models you can pick up at Tractor Supply. He pitches in on the family farm, mowing hay, milking cows and bottling milk at the side business (Bradley’s Country Creamery) in Litchfield Township, Pa. He even knows how to weld.
But he is, in fact, 12 years old, complete these days with cell phone, homework, and a younger sister who bugs him sometimes. And he loves to hunt and fish.

It’s not the biggest state forest in the Southern Tier, but 613 acres of hunting land shouldn’t be overlooked, and that’s what the Catlin State Forest in Chemung County offers.
Over a year’s worth of planning and preparation went into this Alaskan mountain goat hunt, including miles and miles of vertical hikes with a Stone Glacier backpack loaded down with sand and, in the final weeks, a stick of firewood added.
In my mind, I was ready. Then I looked at the mountain I’d have to ascend to climb into goat country, and doubts began to creep in.
