Hi my real name is charlie c, haha. Anyways, I've been hunting and fishing in NY forever. I grew up fishing the watershed down here and the LI sound, I mostly do some freshwater bass fishing and tournaments nowadays. I like to hunt for whatever is in season at the time, most hunting time is spent on a couple small westchester properties with the bow. Nice informative website. Enjoying the past trapping posts. Never trapped before, very interesting. Thanks.

Hi. My name is Lance Umhay. My taxidermist told me about the site. I think its great to hear from local people that have the same concerns and enjoyment of the outdoors as I do. Growing up in the area the Catskills have been my stomping grounds. With the abundance of wildlife and wilderness I enjoy everything from fishing to trapping to just being outside. Happy to be aboard.

Thanx for the welcome. No antlers or much sighn of deer. They don't seem grouped up like last year. The same place that I found alot of sheds last year didn't have any rubs, scraps, beds, trails. or even deer poo. Think they all left the area.

Hello HVS! New guy here - I hail from New Jersey. (right over the border) Have done all my hunting in New York though for the last two years.

I've been an upland bird hunter since I could walk about with my dad. Used to accompany him to field trials when I was a young pup myself. Upland hunting over bird dogs will always be my first love and I like pointing dogs (English Setters) as well. Did a lot of deer hunting in various states when I was younger, not so much anymore since my most recent dog. (I actually feel guilty going out and leaving him home!)

I also like target shooting, participated in NRA Bullseye competition for a number of years, and I am an avid reloader. I started getting into milsurps the last fifteen years or so. I wish I could find more time to do everything and of course always enhance my collection of things.

Thanks -
Kevin
