[QUOTE="7mmpredator, post: 395663, member: 14258"] There are plenty of places in NY, some within a couple of hours drive from the city that are big woods and one can pack in and avoid the "opening day shooting gallery". And even to access the backside of some lakes/reservoirs can be a nice hike and over night. I lived in Colorado and Arizona and took advantage of the backpacking/hunting and had many friends that did the same and more importantly had the basic skills to scout, glass, navigate and pack out game when needed. Fast forward to NY. In fifteen years I've yet to come across anyone (friends, family and co-workers) who is even remotely interested in this level of exercise. And the one or two that would go purely for the "adventure" would certainly become a casualty in some form or another if I don't hold their hand! So when I go off on my own my wife gets concerned and rightfully so but my response is always the same, "if I wait around for some one to go with I'll never experience the outdoors the way that I want to" My last two Wyoming hunts (guided) I've left NY on my own and I will be on a plane alone in September as well. Thank god I'm so hard headed!!! [/QUOTE]
