Has, or maybe a better question..how has, access changed over the years?
Back in the 70's when I started hunting in Delaware County my biggest problem was deciding which piece of private ground I wanted to hunt on any particular day. There was still a considerable amount of unposted private land back then and if it wasn't posted you generally just hunted it. Permission was also obtainable on much of what was posted if you just asked politely. Now it's pretty much all posted and unless you are related to or are friends with a landowner, permission can be damned hard to nearly impossible to obtain. Fortunately, there is alot of both State and NYC reservoir land that is open to hunting.
