With thousands of acres of "forever wild" state lands and plenty
of private property also open to hunting, the Catskills are a hunter's paradise.
In fact, the opening day of deer hunting season is celebrated locally as a
holiday of sorts, with some local businesses taking "St. Antler's Day" off
to start the season. To find out more about opening days, licenses, and where
to hunt, visit the Delaware County Chamber's hunting page, and the State DEC's
comprehensive on-line information center.
