When you do, give me a shout. We have some of the best bass, trout, and salmon fishing in the country. The deer hunting, if you’re willing to put the time in scouting, can be amazing too. At the very least I can point you in the right direction restaurant wise! I don’t know if you guys knew this, but firemen tend to like to eat.

Hey guys, I’ve lurked for a while and figured I’d finally join in. Some quick background on me: I’m a professional firefighter in upstate NY. I’m a former Marine and got into bow hunting in 2011 after my second deployment. It gave me something to focus my energy and more importantly my brain on. I have been very fortunate to have access to some great properties close by, both public and private. All my properties are free permission (minus some help around the farm from time to time when they need it). As a full time firefighter, I have a schedule that allows me to spend a LOT of time in the woods each season.
This will be my first year hunting out of a saddle. Myself and another firefighter (also a former Marine) both purchased Kestrels. He is strictly a public land hunter and I myself have been spending more time on public land recently.
I have repeatedly had stands stolen on public land (they brought bolt cutters and cut my cable locks). Another and equally frustrating problem has been other hunters using my sets. None of my spots are exclusive access and as I’ve had some decent success the last few years. I see the saddle as a way of hunting not only hard to reach places, and difficult trees, but also a way to hide my sets from other hunters.
My influences have come mainly from Dan Infalt and John Eberhart.
