RIFLE DEER HUNTS: $625 per person for the first four days of the season, $525 for any four days subsequent to the opening weekend. All hunts are semi-guided and include lodging, a big hot breakfast and a big lunch. (or we'll provide a box lunch if you want to stay out all day)

***2009 rifle deer hunt dates: November 20 to December 12

We consider our deer hunting to be about as good as it gets, not so much for quality but for quantity. Don't be mislead, we do kill some real nice 2.5 and older deer, but this part of New York is better known for a very high density of deer per square mile, not trophy hunting. Leatherstocking leases private land and we have over 6000 acres available to us. We have approximately 75 stands set in active areas where you can expect to see deer at any time of the day. Lots of hunters want to be here for the first few days of the rifle season, and that is a great time to hunt, but the rest of the season is real good too. We have plenty of deer, and once the woods quiet down a bit the deer get back to their daily patterns. The later part of the season often finds snow on the ground which makes for some great hunting. A typical day of hunting has us getting you up early, we have a hot breakfast, then head for the woods. We get you to your stand before day-break and you are left on your own to hunt during the day. If you kill a deer or hit one and need help, you call us or leave a message on your vehicle and we will come into the woods and help with game retrieval. This part of New York is now available to rifle hunters, and shotguns or muzzleloaders are also legal.

ARCHERY DEER HUNTS: $400 per person, semi-guided, any four days of the season. All hunts are semi-guided and include lodging and a big breakfast.

***2009 archery deer hunts available: October 16 to November 19   

Archery hunters have had about a 50% chance at a buck, however this can be greatly increased by spending the maximum amount of time in the woods. The last week of October and as we work our way into November find the deer rut beginning in our area so lots of deer movement is generally seen during the day. We have plenty of deer around here so if you pay attention to the wind, stay quiet and sit in your tree stand you should see deer each day. Lunch and dinner is on your own.

MUZZLELOADER DEER HUNTS: $475 per person, semi-guided, any four days of the season. All hunts are semi-guided and include lodging, a big breakfast and a big lunch. (we'll provide a box lunch if you want to stay out all day)

***2009 muzzleloader deer hunting is available: December 13 to 19

This is a very successful hunt if you can hit. Our late season muzzleloader season is held after the deer start to group up for winter and the late rut often has big bucks looking for hot does. We usually have plenty of snow and lots of action. Seeing groups of 12-25 deer at a time is not uncommon. You can shoot either a buck or doe. The deer are generally located close to their food sources which could be acorns, apples or row crops such as corn fields. Bring plenty of warm clothes and powder and you'll experience a great hunt where you have the woods to yourself.

COMBINATION ARCHERY DEER AND SHOTGUN TURKEY HUNTS: $550 per person, semi-guided. All hunts are semi-guided and include lodging and a big breakfast.
Our combo hunt allows the maximum hunting time as you can sit in your deer stand early and late in the day and stalk around the woods in the middle of the day and kill your fall birds. We will set this up so you are turkey hunting in a different location from your deer hunt so you can still have a good chance of seeing natural deer movement. Fall turkey is available October 1 to November 20 and archery season open October 17 so we can schedule this hunt anytime the two seasons are open.

TURKEY HUNTING: $450 to $1025 per person, these are fully guided hunts according to the schedule below:
A huge amount of private land means lots of birds and the opportunity to be in and near turkeys every day. It is unusual to not see or hear birds during a morning hunt. That does not mean we will always kill one, but the birds are here and we often get two a day. We offer a special youth hunt prior to the regular season, fully guided gobbler only hunts in May and a guaranteed fall turkey hunt. All our turkey hunts come with 2X1 guide service with 1X1 available at an additional charge for the exclusive use of a guide. We also help you with combo hunts for archery deer and fall turkeys. New York has a two bird limit during both the spring and fall seasons, and hunting with us will give you the maximum opportunity to fill all your tags.
