I have two hunting leases, one in Williamstown and one in Taylor. The Williamstown lease is I think 1000 acres and cost me $350 for the first year and $250 per year after. The lease in Taylor cost me $150 per year for 100 acres but it sits in the middle of state land. I can hunt these properties during any hunting season.
Forgot to add the Williamstown lease is bucks only during deer season and there are 23 members. The Taylor lease has around 10 members I think and you can take whatever you want.

Thirty years ago a friend of mine from Georgia told me that this would be the future of hunting, and it seems the concept is coming to fruition in NY.

Ive seriously never heard of this in WNY........yet at least.
Probably because we have thousands of acres of statelands open to all.

I have 23 acres in Madison county.
Bring a brush hog or rough cut mower and get to it.
Then you can hunt.

A friend of mine leases just south of Buffalo. It's around. Plenty of it on craigslist. I wouldn't do it unless it's your only option. Too expensive, but I have free land to hunt on that's private I know I'm spoiled. It's not the best land, but it's what I have.to s of apples though so there should be some deer. Also a nice creek. Only issue is most are doe and no doe tags are given out in that area. The freaking locals shoot all the bucks year round.

Not around here we don't. I am east of Rochester and the closest stuff to me is 40 minutes away--a pretty small spit of land just south of Sodus. I promise I hunted it harder than anybody else last year, but as soon as bow season finished and the guns got going 99% of the deer just f#(Ked right off out of that area in short order. During gun season last year it snowed a ton and I was able to see exactly what happened with the deer. They just pissed right off into the private land next to the state land and that was that.
I have been trying to lease land but I can't find any. The comment about craigslist doesn't hold, at least around Rochester. I'd happily pay hundreds of $ for a good spot to hunt but I haven't found one yet. There is tons of land out here, don't get me wrong, but either family/friends or existing lease holders are on it. of the "official" lease companies online the closest one to Rochester with land right now is 50 miles out.
Since last year on Craigslist the only spot I've seen close to me at all was some guy asking $1000 so you could sit in the blind he made on his 5 acres next to his house (pathetic). I have some friends who let me use their spot but it was tough last year so I'm mainly on state land, though a co-worker has invited me to his place. It's an hour away west of the city but he lives in the middle of nowhere and it's full of deer.
I actually like the lakeshore marshes (south of sodus), but after the drive you're in for another 15+ min walk unless you want to sit wit the other clowns by the side of the road not seeing anything but birds. Then if you get a deer you're in for a nice work out carting it up and down ravines. It's still worth doing that, but it ain't easy!
Before anybody says I need to try out letchworth, I know, I know. I will at some point

For Georgia (and most other states), Robin's friend was right. But here in NY, we have a ridiculous amount of state land open during all seasons with little restriction, something most other states do not have.

Ya I won't hunt state land etc.... Most my old farmer friendly places to hunt have passed away..... My other great spots are now plowed out with businesses or home developments.
Nothing wrong with state land if you get away from the roads. I do hunt private land (my uncle has a big place), but my state land location is a score and I never see anyone there.
