[GT182]

I do know some of the best deer hunting in NY is around the Unadilla, Sidney, and Gilbertsville areas. I biggest buck I've ever seen, with at least a 16 point rack, was on the mountain next to the Rt 7 and Rt 8 intersection in Sidney. That same day I sat and watched over a hundred deer climb back up the mountainside after getting their morning drink from the Susquehanna River. That was a real pretty sight.... but they were all does. Never spotted a buck amongst them at all. It's no wonder I-88 from Oneonta to Binghamton always has a bunch of roadkill. Almost as bad as sections of I-81 in Pennsylvania.

A lot of my friends from up in Northern NY traveled to that area every year for a week deer hunting. And all of them always came back with a good sized buck, and a doe if they had a doe permit.
