Title: Here's the paradise where I'll be Hunting (pics)
Post by: horatio1226 on October 15, 2008, 01:54:00 PM
Went out scouting this morning. Thought I would bring a camera and show you where I'll be lucky enough to hunt. I see deer every time I come here and today saw my first turkeys on the 80 acres. This land is about 20 miles south of Albany, NY right on the Hudson River. This spot is 10 minutes from house.Don't try to find it! Enjoy!

The last pic is the field where I saw the turkeys. About 10 of them flew out of the high grass right in front of me.

The first pic is one of the places I'm going to put my blind.

This is my view from that blind. This is the same field that I saw the turkeys.

My buddy EJ. He's all business when it comes to hunting.

Brian,

I've lived along the Hudson all my life,and so has Joe Skipp.

The deer love to run the riverbank!!!!! Do some SERIOUS scouting as close to the river as you can get!!!!! You will find many heavily used trails and runways within a few hundred yards of the river.   :thumbsup:

Chuck nailed it with the river too.

Good luck Saturday my friend, let me know if you need help before 2 pm....after that I will be working.

I thought Shawn only had one stand?

Ya know Brian....a few years ago, I found a hole in the woods. It was about 6 feet long, two feet wide. The next year, it was filled in. HMMMMM.

Brian came down and picked something up from me tonight.  I was right on where the place is, I used to hunt that whole area 25 years ago. Always lots of deer and a very pretty spot indeed. Go get'em! Shawn
