Whether you're a seasoned hunter or just getting your feet wet, our expert guides know these woods like the back of their hand and will put you in the right spot at the right time.

This isn't your typical lease hunt where you're dropped off and left to figure things out. Our guides live and breathe these Forestville woods year-round, scouting deer patterns, monitoring food sources, and tracking the big boys that call this place home. The property spans several hundred acres of mixed habitat – mature hardwood ridges where bucks bed down, creek bottoms they use as highways, and agricultural edges where they feed. You'll hunt from strategically placed tree stands and ground blinds that have been positioned based on years of observation and trail camera data. Each morning starts with a pre-hunt briefing about wind direction, recent deer activity, and the game plan for your specific stand location. Safety is our number one priority, so we'll walk through all protocols and make sure you're comfortable with your setup before first light.
The terrain around Forestville gives us a huge advantage when it comes to patterning whitetails. The rolling hills and creek systems create natural funnels that deer use for travel, and our stands are positioned to take advantage of these movement corridors. You'll be hunting with quality equipment – comfortable ladder stands with shooting rails for bow hunters, and strategically placed box blinds for rifle hunters. We provide all the basic gear you need, but feel free to bring your own bow or rifle if you prefer. The mixed terrain means we can adapt to weather conditions – if it's windy, we'll move you to a more sheltered creek bottom stand. If it's calm and cold, those ridge stands overlooking the oak flats are money. Our guides will teach you how to read the wind using the terrain features and show you the subtle deer sign that reveals where the big bucks are moving.
White-tailed deer in this part of New York are some of the finest you'll find anywhere. The agricultural areas provide excellent nutrition, producing bucks with thick bodies and impressive antler growth. Peak rutting activity typically runs from mid-October through mid-November, which is when we see the most consistent buck movement during daylight hours. These deer are smart and have learned to use the thick cover to their advantage, but that's where our local knowledge pays off. The bucks here aren't necessarily giants, but they're mature, well-fed deer that know how to survive hunting pressure. You'll commonly see deer in the 130-160 class, with the occasional bruiser that will make your heart pound when he steps into your shooting lane. Does typically weigh 100-140 pounds field dressed, while mature bucks can push 180-220 pounds. What makes hunting here special is the consistency – it's rare to sit a full day without seeing deer, and the chance of encountering a shooter buck is excellent throughout the season.

White-tailed deer around Forestville are solid animals - mature bucks can hit 200+ pounds with impressive antler spreads. They love our mixed hardwood forests and agricultural edges, moving between bedding areas in thick cover and feeding spots in open fields. Peak hunting runs from late October through December when the rut kicks in and bucks get careless chasing does. What makes whitetails special is the challenge - they're incredibly smart with amazing senses, so outsmarting a mature buck takes real skill. The venison is top-notch table fare too. My advice? Hunt the transition zones between thick timber and open ground, especially during the first and last hour of daylight when they're most active.
