Doc Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Did you see any good bucks? How long does the season run there? Any special regulations? Any pre-registration required? Are the numbers of hunters regulated in any way? Exactly where do they let you hunt in the refuge? That's a bit of a drive for me, but that would certainly be something different to do for a day or two next year. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 we hunt out in swamps in cattails. You don't mean you are standing in water do you? I assume you mean some high and dry spots in the cattails.....right? I have often looked at the swamp at the south end of Canandaigua Lake (hundreds of acres of cattails) and thought that if I was a smart old buck, I probably would find some place out there to spend my daylight hours. I don't think anyone really goes out there (standing deep-ish water and deep mud can make it a bit treacherous). However, I know there are some high areas out there that are dry but still have a dense cover of cattails that no one could ever get through without tipping off everything in the swamp. I'm not sure just how I would hunt it though. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earnhardts12000 Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 sit right on very sorta dry edge land and knee high boots and where noone else dares to go thats where u'll find us, yes deer especially big boys stay during daylight hrs theres paths through them like runways or cow paths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 That is cool. Like Tim, I have always wanted to pop a few geese there. Sounds like there is plenty of competition for the deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stcif Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I always wondered what it would be like to hunt Montezuma. I pass through a few times a year on the Thruway. Went to a Bills game a couple years ago and saw so many geese flying over there it was scary! I hunted Cicero Swamp a couple years ago. I'm not a big fan of hunting in terrain that is that wet though. Can't walk a straight line for more than ten feet without going through water. There are definately big bucks in there though. I noticed vehicles driving on a road adjacent to the Thruway in Montezuma. Have no idea how to access it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
