Ed, I've got the same situation on my property. It backs up to McDonough State Forest in Chenango County. There is a long ridge above my property and that is the only access to the state land. It drops off to my property and the hunters coming in from above push the deer down into my thick...

Ed, that sounds very nice! Wow, a place to shoot 1000 yards in NYS. Will you hunt it as well? If you are planning on putting in food plots, I'd be willing to help out this summer. Just let me know. My wife and I have 27 acres that back up to 6700 acres of state forest. Most of it is thick...
