a Northern Zone offer to all
« on: August 23, 2016, 03:15:00 PM »
I have made this offer many times, made a few good friends from it. I LOVE where I hunt no place in the world I would rather be and I enjoy sharing my area with like minded friends. I hunt 6r of the Northern zone. it is HARD hunting and few deer in comparison to South BUT I know the area well and the deer habits in this area better then most. I have never bow killed a deer here (missed 2) but have put a lot of deer in front of friends and a good friend killed his first deer EVER with long bow out of my stand. I only hunt weekends unless on vacation but you are welcome to hunt it whenever you can. it is %90 public land and the private is only posted in 1 small area, I have permission to hunt it all. it is in The Adirondack State Forest and the are I hunt is on the side of a small mountain that has beech and oak ridges and flats. this year looks GREAT plenty of mast crops deer sign, bear and   the most turkeys I have ever saw up here. I am scouting every weekend now and would be glad to show anyone the area. I %100 guarantee you will be the ONLY people hunting this mountain during bow season, only people that bow hunt it go with me or a few Tradgangers have learned the area and might possibly be there but it is a HUGE area and chances are you wouldn't see them even if they were hunting with us! I have treestands in place but I will be hunting the ground. its is HARD walking but beautiful.  if interested give me a shout. I own 5 small acres smack on top of the mountain right in the middle of a great bedding area. if interested give me a shout. again you are welcome to hunt completely on your own I just want to share this spot with the members on here this will not be posted anywhere else on any forums. I will warn you when muzzleloader/rifle opens it gets hit pretty good but not a soul for bow. I just put out 5 trail cams last weekend and will be checking every Sunday now.

What an awesome offer! It's a shame I live 1,990 miles from you... if only it were closer to 1,800 miles I'd be there.

lol I really don't think its a big deal and it really is hard hunting with few critters in comparison to areas most of you hunt BUT my zone opens before most others and you can use it as a warm up to your season.

there are a LOT of bear but man they just seem to disappear once season starts. I do not want to shoot one, I had 3 in shooting distance last year. 3 years in a row now I have had the same big sow on camera in the same area.

Thanks Ken.  Great offer.  

I hope someone takes you up on it.  

Being in WI that is just a tad far for a commute hunt so I cannot, but thanks anyway !

That's a terrific offer, Ken.  Sounds awesome.  

When I see a snow scene like your one picture, it gets me started, for sure.

I've been hunting a small 85 acres in zone 8R.  The owner practically begged me to hunt and remove some of his deer.  Doesn't like just anybody (we've all heard those types of stories)....

Anyway, maybe I'll take you up on that one day.

Good luck.  And, I hope you get a bear!!
Bob

I have been on that mountain over 50 times and have seen deer exactly 1 time (during turkey season).  I have heard them and seen lots of sign.

Hunting is tough but You will be hard pressed to find the peace, beauty and tranquility of this enchanted mountain.

Ken,  I will take you up on that ride during the opener    ;)    ;)    :p     Seriously though, good luck.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Charlie will be awesome to have you up there again and although not with bow I know you had a very memorable hunt, by the way it was the BEST nesting season EVER around here and I ran in to 3 separate flocks Sunday.

One of the many reasons I love this site, awesome gesture. Hope you nail one of those old ridge runners, kinda place that in rifle a guy could hunt like the Benoits.
