NY Whitetail Properties

NY Whitetail Properties is a working whitetail hunting operation in Steuben County, about 90 minutes from the Pennsylvania border. Owner and head guide Bryan Mix has spent five years transforming this 400-acre property into a high-quality hunting destination focused on trophy whitetail management, ethical practices, and hunter success.

Three hunt packages are available:

Each hunt includes opportunities for one trophy buck (minimum 120-class) and one doe (based on tag availability). Rifle and bow hunters are welcome. You bring your own firearm or bow and valid New York State hunting license and tags—NY Whitetail Properties provides everything else.

Bryan Mix designed every aspect of this operation himself: food plot placement, stand locations, trail systems, and habitat improvements. The property features:

• •Whitetail Institute food plots - vibrant, actively managed nutrition plots that concentrate deer movement
• •Hardwood ridges and open field terrain
• •Strategic stand placement based on wind, deer movement patterns, and seasonal behavior
• •Low-pressure land (no public access means less hunting pressure than typical areas)
• •Professional herd management focused on quality over quantity

The operation maintains high ethical standards. All hunts are fair chase on private, free-range land with no artificial aids beyond strategic feeding and stand placement.

After each hunt day, you're not roughing it in a tent. The on-site lodge offers:

• •Private bedrooms with luxury lodge-style beds
• •Modern bathroom and kitchen facilities
• •Great room with whitetail mounts and common gathering space
• •Outdoor dining, fire pit, and grill area
• •Food and beverage options included (alcohol not included)

Check-in is 6:00 PM the evening before your hunt begins. Check-out is 6:00 PM on your final hunting day. Non-hunting guests can join for an additional lodging fee.

While no hunt guarantees a harvest, NY Whitetail Properties offers advantages that drive results: low-pressure private land, quality stand placement based on deer behavior, and intensively managed food plots. Their hunters enjoy a high success rate thanks to these factors combined.

All hunting is fair chase. No baiting (beyond planted food plots), no high-fence operations, no shortcuts—just good land management, smart strategy, and ethical hunting practices.
