Are you new to this site?(Introduce yourself)

[Wayne W]

Hi I'm new to the site,i like deer hunting and bear hunting with hounds.I also rabbit hunt with my beagles.Ive owned curs for squirrel but there's nothing like the music of a old hound taking a track.I used to coon hunt but have no one interested anymore,so now I'm running beagles.I also hunt turkey.I have hunted pheasant and grouse with dogs.But like I said mostly run rabbits now,but that could always change.Im looking for a camp in the adirondacks now,I love tracking bucks in the snow.Im closer to the Catskills but rarely hunted there.I also fish for trout,Muskie,pike,walley,bass,and stripers.Im always happiest in the woods.Thanks Wayne

Bear hunting with hounds in New York? 
I see you have walkers on your avatar!Do you run hounds?Ive run bears in new York!!I haven't shot them but there is a training season,if you dont know it starts in June or July and runs till ten days before the season opens.I hunt bear with hounds in wv,tenn,nc,and maine,if I'm lucky I'll get a tag for vermont but its lottery,I haven't hunted nh yet but it's on my bucket list.Sorry I didn't explain that I don't want anybody thinking I'm unethical.Sorry and thanks Wayne

Welcome Wayne W. I know a person locally that trains his dogs to run bears and then hunts out of state with them. If you ever wouldn't mind some company on a training run let me know.

[Wayne W]

Sorry no more bear hounds since the big D.I also have friends that train,and go with them evry year and your always welcome to tag along,you do need a big game license to run even if your tagging along.It's a lung buster but if you want some excitement this will get you blood boiling.Just make sure you can run and go find them hounds treed.lol lol lol it's awesome I love it,I'll be heading up to Maine this year with a friend of mine.Anyone that wants to tag along and hunt bear with hounds is welcome.

I was hoping that's what you meant Wayne..lol..My walkers only run coyotes. I'm a bigtime coyote hunter. The guy in the grey sweater in my avatar runs bear, coyote, and coon. And my cousin is a bear runner. He only runs bear. He's been doing it for probly 25 yrs. Running bear is definately not for the weak-hearted. I done it a few times. A  lung-buster for sure. You have any bobcat dogs? There's quite a few around now. We see track everywhere.....

[Wayne W]

I'm training a bobcat hound now.Shes a 1 1/2 yr old all blue.She loves a cat but we have no snow so she gets messed up and I can't help her out so I'm kind of behind.Those cats pull some crazy tricks.She loses the track when the cat hits the rocks or jumps out.I don't know where the cat goes so she spends time just searching for a track and if she does pick it up the cat is way ahead and we run all day with out a cat. Lol it is fun though.

Hello everybody. I into fishing although I have not fished in a while .
I also like to shoot my rifles. Always looking for a place to shoot if any one knows of some spots near Kingston or Catskill. Would not mind trekking into the woods.
I am excited about the Syracuse gun show coming up!

[Terry]

I live near Kinderhook NY. I am 50 (this Sat.) and have been hunting and fishing for 38 years. I am a traditional bowhunter first and foremost and have hunted in 20+ states, Alaska (9 times), Canada, Mexico, and Africa. I also love to fish and have also traveled to do that as well. I love to catch stripers on the Hudson. I'm a native Hoosier and still travel to hunt whitetail deer there annually.
