I thought I did this one time but I'm not seeing it. Name's Eric Post. Live in Coxsackie. Greene County. I love deer hunting first. I'm self- employed and try to hunt every day of deer season. For me it isn't about the kill, it's about having the freedom to hunt. Second to deer hunting is 'yote hunting. Called my first one in last year and definately got the itch now lol. It isn't easy but damn sure rewarding. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe, happy, and lots of outdoor time in the new year...

Hello everyone, my name is Brian O'Connor. I reside in Olivebridge,NY and have lived here in the Catskills just about my whole life. I have a lovely wife and 3 children. Two boys and a beautiful daughter. My oldest son Kevin passed away in 2002. I graduated from Onteora High School and Paul Smiths School Of Foresty.

I worked for The NYS Dept.of Env.Conservation for 18 years as the "Interior Supervisor",Region3 Trail System. I was a paid woodsman. At times I couldn't believe I was getting paid to do it but, dont get me wrong, it was hard work and definitely a youg mans job. Retiring out early in 1996 to run my business, "Sheldon Hill Forestry Supplies", which was running at the same time. "Sheldon Hill" was started in 1984.

During my years at NYSDEC, I was fortunate to work with some really great and knowledgeable people. Are you listening dhenry and GVL! The places my job exposed me to gave me a huge perspective and understanding of these Catskill Mountains. I feel blessed to take that and apply it to my passion, "Hunting and Fishing". This is what I do to recharge my battery.

My family has always been involved in hunting,so as long as I can remember,hunting has been in my blood. Starting at 7 years old with a Daisy BB gun, I get the same fulfillment today with my pre"64"" Winchester 70" 30-06. Just to be in the woods and blend in with the ecosystem is a feeling, most all of you can understand....need I say more.  

Now that my son Troy has turned 12, that family tradition is in full swing with his first turkey hunt a success (16lbs. 9.5"beard). Being there with him when he made that shot gave me a feeling that indiscribable....actually emotional!

Thanks Ron for developing a great sounding board. You have a really good group of people here all of which posess that strong call to the natural world. You all have to be proud of that.......I Know I am.    Thanks to all !!

Hey guys - glad to have all three of you aboard - sounds like some of you have "in depth" knowledge of the great outdoors. I grew up in Delaware County(Delhi - on the Andes <> Delancey road) and hunted and fished as often as I could.... some big deer up in those hills back in those days...lol

Enjoy this site and the best to you all in the new year.

Thanks Tailspin, "Happy New Year"......saw some answers to your "age old question" in the woods this year.....just no direct depositers!!  lol

[tailspin348]

SHF - too bad you didn't see any "depositors" - maybe you could have made a "withdrawal"....lol

My name is Eric, I'm 34yrs old from Leeds, ny. I have a beautiful family, great friends and a few good hunting buddies. I work in the medical field. I hunt mostly in Round Top or Acra in Greene County and I take an annual trip to my in-laws who own a farm out in KANSAS!!! What a great place to hunt each year!!! I am a truly blessed person for all I have in my life. My passion is hunting and fishing which is second only to my family.

[SHForestry]

Welcome Eric. That Round Top area isn't too shaby to hunt in either. It looks like you have 3 good blessings.  Family, friends and good hunting... ya gotta love it!

[ny2tx_patti]

I lived in NY most of my life, but live in the Dallas, TX area now.  I travel back to Kerhonkson as often as I can to visit my family.  I'm not a hunter, but my grandfather and father were, and my brother, son and grandsons are now.  So my reason for joining is to see photos of my grandchildren when they get posted here. 

Thanks for setting up this great site!
Patti
