On Safari in New York

[NIGHTHAWK]

Where does a hunter go for inspiration while in New York?

My Brother works in Manhattan, meeting up
With him for dinner… I brought 6 nice Napa wines. Staying 5 days.

I walked from Port Authority to Times Square through Central Park to American Museum of Natural History…

Heading to Intrepid next…

9,000 Steps so far…

More to come.

From the title, that was exactly what my destination would be - Museum of Natural History

 

[Hunt anything]

Did you ever get y’all a fishing trip up?

Looks like you found a good way to spend a day in NYC.

I need to go back to NYC soon. I’ve always enjoyed that city as a tourist. Someone smarter than me, are most of those mounts Teddy and Kermit’s still?

A shame there is no longer a holland and holland showroom in manhattan.


add to your list -

The explorers club, it is private - but if you knock, sometimes the door opens and they will give you a tour.

The history of that organization is incredible and some amazing artifacts not seen by many will be there for you to see.

Just off Madison Ave on the upper east side. I hope you get to see it.

I inquired, but my brother has work constraints. I’m a little bummed about that…

For HH:

I just wish they had the scores listed!

I go to NYC once a year and always go to the Museum of Natural History when I am in town.

The Beretta Gallery is not such a bad place to visit either.

So NYC is not a total loss after all....

 

[Fatback]

In my one and only trip to NYC, The Museum of Natural History and the 9-11 museum were my two favorite attractions we saw.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Training for my next Alpine hunt…

 

[BryceM]

The horns on those rhinos are unreal!

Too bad the old Abercrombie & Fitch store is no longer there. It closed in 1977.
(I never had the chance to go)

The Museum of Natural History was good.

Beretta has a store there:

New York City Gun Store for Manhattan Luxury Firearms and Apparel

If the hunter is also a fisherman, you can book a striper trip:

NYC Sportfishing Charters -Fishing Charter in New York , NY , 10010

NYC Sportfishing Charters is located in New York , NY. NYC Sportfishing Charters is Fishing Charter serving New York since

I have a friend ("Hank the Yank"), who is a fishing guide, who is from the NYC area. (He guides in GA now)

welcome

The water in the Hudson River is clean enough for stripers now.

(maybe the Clean Water Act of 1972, maybe because many American companies, ultimately, just want to "do the right thing," - probably some of both)

It's a total loss, but if you have to be there, you have the ability to make it interesting.

Except for maybe the first tiger, superb taxidermy, in great settings.

I cannot think of any reason that I could be forced to go into New York City again, but if it should happen, I know where I'm going!

 

[Atticus]

One of my favorite museum visits ever. Amazing collections.

 

[camperx]

the total deal, i have never been there

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

There is so much more. I stayed as long as I could. I didn’t make it to Intrepid.

Including a huge collection of Dinosaurs:
