Finally Reaching The Gulf ...

After struggling through the deep snow for 45 minutes, I finally reached The Gulf, a 500 foot deep hollow. Deer apparently congregate along the edge of this hollow, as witnessed by the ample deer tracks in deep snow, and places where deer had slept in snow.

The majority of the current WMA was transferred to the New York State in 1962 by the federal government. The WMA can be access from County Rt. 13, County Rt. 6 and a number of town roads. Numerous parking areas are located throughout the WMA. This parcel of public land affords multiple uses for outdoor recreation including hunting, trapping, fishing, birding, hiking, snowmobiling, skiing, and horseback riding.
