Hunt ABC Ranch
ABC Ranch is located in Canisteo, NY in Steuben County – the south central part of New York State. We raise Hereford cattle and own 2500 acres of land which is all posted. In 1996 we started our own Quality Deer Management Program. We fill all our Doe Permits with mature does, and harvest only 8 points or better bucks, with the inside spread reaching beyond the outside tips of their ears. There are no game fences on our farm and all hunting is fair chase. Steuben County is home to arguably the best fair chase Whitetail Deer Hunting in the Country!
We have two camps on the main property, which have all the conveniences of home. Propane heat, a bunk room which sleeps six, a kitchen, a living room, a bathroom with shower, washer & dryer, and Dish TV. Each camp has roughly 1000 acres which they have exclusive hunting rights to. We allow bow, crossbow, shotgun, & muzzleloader at our main property. Sorry, no rifles allowed on our Main Property.
We have a third camp in Greenwood, NY. Roughly 20 miles from our main property This camp has 200 acres of huntable property. Propane heat, 2 bedrooms, 1 bunk room and 1 master bedroom, kitchen, living room, dinning room, bathroom with shower, Dish TV, washer & dryer, & all major appliances. We allow bow, crossbow, shotgun, rifle, & muzzleloader on our Greenwood Property.
ABC Ranch is an operational cattle farm located in the hills of Canisteo, NY and is owned by Dr. A. Bryon Collins. We have been raising Black Baldy and Herefords for 50 years. 6 miles of Finger Lakes trail hiking run through the property for guests to enjoy and there is also a functioning cidery with taproom and restaurant located on the property. When you are done with your hunt, enjoy a drink and dinner by the stone fireplace in our lodge-style taproom, called Cider Creek Hard Cider.
Continuing Traditions
Chip Collins, pictured here, started running the hunting camps on ABC Ranch 21 years ago. On May 8, 2016, Chip passed away unexpectedly. We have decided to continue the tradition that he started, and that he shared with many of you, alive on the ranch. His spirit, his love of the land, and, love for the season will live forever on ABC Ranch.

Testimonials
I have been hunting at ABC Ranch for 5 years , with the changes Kevin has made with his deer management program he has brought mid west quality deer hunting to Steuben County. I’m seeing more deer and more mature trophy caliber bucks.
ABC Ranch is a great hunting experience. Plenty of quality deer. The new foods plots enhance your chances of harvesting a quality buck. Have been hunting the ranch for 4 years now and look forward to going every year.
I have been hunting at ABC ranch since 2011 and to say it has been a pleasure is an understatement. When I first hunted the property and shot my first deer Chip Collins I believe was more excited than me and after his passing I was unsure about the future of the experience after… until I met his brother Kevin Collins who had the same ambition and pride about the property and the hunters. Every year the hunt and property continues to get better, the deer bigger and the friendships stronger. Of all the places I could choose to hunt I will always put ABC ranch at the top.
Hunting on 2000 plus acres on a family owned ranch in western NY kinda says it all. ABC Ranch in Canisteo NY is the premier family owned hunting ranch in NY. We have been hunting there for 4 years. Kevin has set up a great deer management program which includes food plots and excellent stand placement for any wind or weather pattern. We look forward to returning every year.
ABC Ranch 8hrs from Boston. Owners are fantastic people, great DIY hunts and property. I believe it?s their third year in a strict management program. They are starting to produce some great Bucks. Each year is better and better. They have nice bunk houses with all the amenities so you can hunt hard and still be comfortable. The owner owns Cider Creek Hard cider. The cidery is on the property where you can have drinks, food and share hunting stories by the fire. We do it every year and the owner Kevin never lets us down.
We come to abc ranch year over year for the great white tail hunting. It is a wonderfully managed property with plenty of opportunity to snag a trophy de er and put meat in the freezer. Management is very knowledgeable and always happy to help strategize the next days hunt or debrief the current day over a cider at the cider house.
I?ve been going to Abc ranch for 4 years now, the property and management of the property is great. The cabins are clean and a nice place to hang out after a long day in the woods. Kevin and his crew are wonderful to deal with and hang out with. They are also very knowledgeable and helpful hunters. The cider mill is a huge attribute to the experience with great beer and food. I?ll never stop going to ABC ranch for as long as I continue hunting. It is the only thing I look forward to each and every year.
