Hello. Nice to find a local Hudson Valley website for like minded folks . This site recommended by the President of the United Sportsmen of Rockland county...Stan.
 OK...Here I go. Married Father of 3 sons(22,20&17) living in North Rockland. They all hunt and fish and have lifetime sportsman licenses for NYS( gifts from Dad as babies). I am a lifetime sportsman, Archery, Muzzleloading licensee for about 15 years now. I buy the trapper license annually. I do it all. Hunt, fish and trap. Most of my hunting/trapping is on family land in Sullivan county. But I do have a few spots here in Rockland that I hunt/trap from time to time. I have been a Electrician for 30 years currently working at Ground Zero in NYC. I have hunted in South Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and my favorite place of all time...The Texas Hill country. I go hunting in Texas EVERY year for the last 7 years. Mainly for free range exotics. Last February I purchased 6.5 acres in the Hill Country for retirement. Texas is a Sportsmans paradise. Get there before you die.
This year I am starting a new endeavor. Hanging up the Mathews and picking up a vintage(1957) Ben Pearson recurve to hunt with. I am looking for more of a challenge.
Nice to meet all of you and good luck this fall.
Hunt safe!

Hello Everyone!

Just started getting back into hunting and fishing(I don't like fishing but my 6 y.o. son does so I do it for him). Actually As a kid I was only exposed to deer hunting with rifle. So I'm trying my hand at learning to shoot a bow, and learning how to fish all over again LOL.
So I destroyed my first set of arrows in tree roots and underbrush today. I've learned something, arrows are expensive and Shooting in my yard will cost me around $35.00 a day for a set of arrows.
Where are there local pro shops that can tune the bow. I'm in Walden, I don't really care for gander mountain as their staff doesn't say a word to me or even acknowledge me at the counter. But that's my little rant..
It's a PSE few years old. Seems to be strung well and no scratches or cracks that I can discern. I have it set up for my draw length. Now I just need a pro tune and have them go over it let me know what arrows I should be using, etc.
Thanks guys and gals

Hi everyone I am new as well just heard about this site tonight and decided to check it out. (so far so good). I have been hunting since I was twelve and I am 43 now. I started hunting with my dad and brother my brother and I still hunt together (our dad has passed on). I am a member of Walden sportsmen's club and I have been a hunter safety instructor for bow and gun for the last five years. I have two daughters that love to shoot but not hunt and I have a little guy who is five and he is chomping at the bit for this years gun season. (We be hunting from a blind) this will be his first time out ever I am just as excited as he is. I hope I can something valuable to this site and looking forward to learning from you guys and gals as much as I can.

My name is Ben. I live in the Catskill/Saugerties area(right at the base of north mountain). I hunt deer, bear, rabbit and birds(bow, rifle and shotgun). I joined this site to possibly connect with some like minded people outside my regular circle. Glad to see there are still so many people supporting outdoor lifestyles and hunting for more than trophies and bragging rights. I eat what I kill(excluding legally hunted pest animals) and enjoy being able to supplement my groceries with good meat that I know the origins of and process myself.  Happy to be here

Been on the site for about a year now.  Im 30 and just moved to Hyde Park last year. Married and have a 3 year old son.  I did the majority of my growing up in Mahopac but lived in the city after I graduated college. Im a PE teacher and make the commute everyday…..its awesome (heavy sarcasm).  I been deer hunting since i was a teenager.  I really got into bird hunting this year after I bought a German Shorthaired Pointer.  I went to a pheasant preserve a few years back and after that I promised myself when I bought a house I would get a hunting dog.  What I like about the site is that everyone seems cool.  I been on some other sites and when you ask a question, they respond to you like your an idiot.  Plus its cool to get some local info, especially for a newbie to the area.
