Great welcome replies. Thank you all.
Yes upstate NY is beautiful. I live in the Rochester/Monroe County area. That is between Buffalo and Syracuse. Two Great Lakes are nearby. Ontario is in spitting distance and Erie is about 90 minutes away. I usually fish the Finger Lakes or the bays off Lake Ontario. Living at the foothills of Bristol Mountain, game is aplenty too. That said, NY state winters are colder than a witch's...... It will be nice to deal with the heat problem for a change.
I am looking forward to making contributions here. That's the fastest way to get acquainted and make lasting friendships in my opinion. I could use some guidance regarding hog hunting after I get settled. Although I never had the chance to try that before, it is something I have always wanted to attempt.

Wow, very cool. I use to live in Honeoye Falls. That was just down the road from Lima.
Hi there again new buddies.
Just wanted to say I returned to New York State from Florida as a Floridian. I bought a modest home in Silver Springs on Mill Dam Lake. When I switched my NY driver’s license for a FL, I bought a resident’s fishing license too. Now all I have to do is wait 6 months before I can apply for a free hunting/fishing license because of my disability. Anybody also retired too, wanting to get out more, and have company in your boat when you do should send me an email (str8shooter_usa@yahoo.com) or message. Have no problem at all sharing expenses for gas, snacks, and bait. Want to keep busy and meet new people. Won’t know a soul in Florida. Figure I’ll get the annual permit to ride the ATV in the forest too. Lots to do when I get down there for real. Looking to buy a boat and maybe an electric 4x4 to sneak into the forest. Also want to pick up a pistol for hunting, but have never owned or even shot one before. Could use your input as to what I should get and where I might pre-fire before buying one. Will probably be shooting from a seated position. I was thinking 357 magnum would be sufficient for deer, hogs, and even bear. Your thoughts. Feel a bit like a kid again exploring and anticipating a new adventure. Just need to wait until I get through some business matters here, finish packing, and hire movers. Hey thanks for making me feel welcome. Really.
Rob
