Hello all, been creeping around here for years so finally registered.
I am in the southern teir outside Middletown, but I get up that way now and then.Welcome to AH.
Spent nearly 20 years just outside of Utica, NY. Now live in northern Virginia.
There are a few AH members in that area. I go goose hunting in NY with a friend of mine who lives in Newburgh, not far from you.I am in the southern teir outside Middletown, but I get up that way now and then.
Would not mind finding someone to goose/duck hunt with never been tho.There are a few AH members in that area. I go goose hunting in NY with a friend of mine who lives in Newburgh, not far from you.
It's pretty easy to get permission on private land from a someone like a farmer that has a water source (pond, lake or stream) on the property. Do some scouting and knocking on doors. You'd be surprised how easy it can be if you ask nicely and remain courteous. Getting two birds (the limit in your area at this time) before you need to be a work shouldn't be a chore.Would not mind finding someone to goose/duck hunt with never been tho.
Anywhere above Rockland county is up state lol. We were all farms here up to 30 years ago, most of the food f9r the east coast can from orange county NY. At one time more milk,apples,and onions were grown here then anywhere in the usa.Welcome! I usually chuckle when I see someone mention "upstate NY." I'll Google the town name, such as Middletown, and see it is just a few miles north of NYC. I was born in Plattsburgh, truly upstate.
