Title: camp work/stump shoot and cook out Sunday
Post by: adkmountainken on August 25, 2010, 09:21:00 PM: ok lets try it again without the extreme rain! i would love to put together a small stump shoot/ camp work and cook out for Sunday. i need a little help with a new camp site. it will be VERY VERY basic, no grand illusions here. a nice lean too, fire pitt, water hole and just the basic's. it will be free to anyone to use as it is on public ground right near 5 acres that myself and Ron W own. also could ues a little help setting a tree stand or two and ground blinds. it is a beautifull area that you will fall in love with. i'm thinking of meetint everyone at 8am? what do ya say??

Post by: Cyclic-Rivers on August 27, 2010, 09:12:00 AM: Ken I'm in, sent you an e-mail. Casey will probably follow me or ride with me up.

Tell your mom to get the frog legs out, with good weather we will need to eat em up.

the way I see it, 150 legs, 1 miunte per side = 2 minutes to cook. We will be cooking them for 30 minutes if we only fit 10 at a time in the pan. Of course this doesnt account for my inefficiencies as a cook so add another 4 minutes to teh estimated cook time :bigsmyl:

Post by: Zmonster on August 27, 2010, 09:19:00 AM: Charlie,

Let me know the time and place to meet you so I can start planing. I havent decided weather or not to follow or ride along. We can work out the details that morining. Equipment wise, is there anything the camp can use pots, pans, hot sauce etc..

Title: Re: camp work/stump shoot and cook out Sunday
Post by: adkmountainken on August 27, 2010, 08:57:00 PM: can't really think of anything we need, i will buy a blue tarp tommorow unless anyone has one? as i said it will be a VERY BASIC camp but will be there for all to use. i plan on staying a weekend very soon as Sept 1 opens small game and that would be a great way to brake the camp in. also bear season opens soon and we could stay a weekend for that.

Post by: Frenchymanny on August 27, 2010, 11:10:00 PM: Ken,

Depending on how far from me I might show my mug on Sunday if you want my help

Title: Re: camp work/stump shoot and cook out Sunday
Post by: adkmountainken on August 28, 2010, 10:03:00 PM: Manny,
sorry for the delay bro been going full tilt today getting things done! in all reality tommorow would not be a great time to make the trip as there will not be much time to relax due to camp chores. HOWEVER with in the next couple weekends i want to due a small game hunt that would be great for people to come up and get together! i know Horatio and sons would like to as well. also remember early bear season opens soon and i have 2 stands by good bear sign, could camp out that weekend too. so how about ya come up on a Saterday morning/afternoon and we small game hunt, stay at the camp and leave early Sunday afternoon? as allways this is open to all tradgang members.
Title: Re: camp work/stump shoot and cook out Sunday

Post by: Zmonster on August 29, 2010, 07:58:00 PM: Ken,

Allow me to change my shirt next time your going to take a picture. It looks like I went swimming in the creek! Or maybe its from drawing back Kenny's stout Widow. lol

It was nice meeting everyone as well. Big and Little Ken, Charlie, John, Chris and Drew. It truly was medicine for my soul. I really appreciate you showing me your super secret honey of a spot. I hope to share it with any and all of you great hunters this season. Ill be sure to make some time to meet up again.

Casey

Bear is fair game in NY. they are abundant in the ADK's However, they are not easy to find.

No Baiting and No Dogs help them survive but since you cant really spot and stalk them you are reduced to good scouting and a little bit of luck (No not the NY state Lottery guy). You get a free bear license with your deer license although I'm not sure how it works with Non-Residents.

If you were sharing camp with me and you do not get a bear tag, I will be happy to pretend I shot your bear. ;) ;)
