Where exactly are you & what do you want to fish for? There are plenty of trout & bass in the reservoirs & connecting streams. Make sure you get a watershed permit. The Hudson river has some good fishing. Many of the DEC run properties have small lakes & ponds that get very little fishing...
We are not. Though we are a registered hunting club for insurance reasons that's about as far as it goes. We have less than 20 members and only hunt 1 piece of property. Most of these guys have been friends or the sons of the friends that have been hunting it for 70 years.
He's 10, he has some time before he hunts. We are being careful that he doesn't develop a flinch. He's been shooting the .22lr bolt action & he liked the 35 Remington loads but wasn't fond of the 20ga target loads. He will get more time with the air rifle & BB gun as well.
I'm in Putnam & my hunting property is 1,200 acres of farm & woods in Dutchess., can't use a rifle in either place but everyone is using rifled shotguns.
Is anyone hearing anything about making straight walled rifle cartridges legal in NY for shotgun only areas? We are thinking of getting a 350 Legend bolt rifle for my buddies son. The 20ga sabot slugs are a little rough on him. He was shooting my 35 Remington loads, 160gr MP 360-640 Cramer style...
