.... that failed due to the Great Depression. He had gone into partnership with an old Army buddy and when the business failed and his friend had to declare bankruptcy Harry assumed the entire debt and paid it off slowly.
Just only opened this yesterday and literally just read that

Absolutely.
NY State consists of 62 counties which includes Manhattan and the 'five boroughs'. Hunting and fishing laws and licenses are administered by the state but has specific rules per county mostly related to population.
In the more densely populated counties like the one I live in it's no rifles. Deer and bear can be taken with shotguns with slugs or handguns that are minimum 6" barrel length, minimum .357 Magnum cartridge. Bows and muzzle loaders have different, longer seasons.
Drive an hour north of here and you can use rifles. When I say 'howling wilderness' I ain't kidding. I am trying to find a way to give you a sense of scale. Dive 90 minutes north of here and you're in Adirondak Park. You'd still be in it three hours later at highway speeds and when you get far enough north the road signage is in French.
In terms of square miles you could plunk Yorkshire and Argyll Counties into it and have room left over for a number of the very small ones. Adirondak Park is roughly 16% of the total square mileage of the state. That's the kind of big and empty I am talking about. Very rugged hilly country, lots of dark deep gorges, heavily forested. Plenty of Sasquatch no doubt .....

Thanks. I was always under impression that one would need to move to one of Mid-Western states to enjoy hunting. But this is a good news.

Even the 'more densely populated county' I live in - Dutchess - with about 300K people has an awful lot of empty in it. Like the rest of the state the population is clustered around the rail lines, interstate access etc. We've talked about a single level home when we get older and if that ever happens it'll likely be in this same county, but over there somewhere away from all these nitwits and traffic. Lots of farms and woods.
Even here in this residential neighborhood I'm only a mile from a big apple orchard and guys hunt right near it with bows. Not shotguns or rifles as they carry too far, but bows they allow because its safe. Elsewhere in the county its shotguns or handguns.
The neighborhood deer are generally smaller than the ones you take out in the wild, and they are totally used to people. I have walked past them bedded down close enough to tickle them, I see their bedding all over the place out back. Wouldn't be exactly sporting. I haven't followed it but they got a bit scarce, it was that wasting disease I think.
