1st annual Adirondack attack!(the secound wave)

[adkmountainken]

well i have had many replys and have some fellow Tradgamg members set for different dates. so far
Sept 30Th:
Adirondackman
Drewsbow
3Dmuzzy & Aram
Oct 7&8th:
Huntrdfk
JCsnapshot
alos looking to set a date for Woodchucker to come up as well as Alex Bugnon.
 this will be all new to me as i have not had the chance to hunt with a fewllo traditioal archer and i'm looking foward to it. i will be hanging a couple more stands this weekend.
 Things you might want to bring.:
pop up blind if you have one and would like to use it. my treestands are on the small side but are brand new. i use the strap on climbing ladders for steps.
 Fly rod or other rod if we have spare time as there is a great creek that holds trout and bass right where i hunt.
 Turkey call if you are staying to hunt Oct 1st. ther are A LOT of turkey onthe ridge we will be huntig. also many coyote which opens Oct 1.
 for those that choose to stay the 30th through the Oct 1st there is room at my mothers house where i will be staying too. we can supply the food there, no problem.
 If you have a 2 way radio please bring it, i have a couple. i don't like using these a lot but with people not knowing the area it is a good idea.
  There is a KAZILLION black and grey squrriels on this ridge as well, bring extra arrows!
  i guess thats about it. i have been scouting a lot nd i feel very confident someone will get a shot a deer. this land is all state land so there will be no problems with land owners. i am by no means a guide and never will be. i have lived and hunted this same area for 36 years so i know it pretty well. i'm setting this up as i would love to meet some fellow tradgangers and learn whatever i can from them. i will be calling everyone this weekend.
 Hope someone has a good gutting knife!!!!!

I agree with Bernie!!!  

There's no way I could make it up your way this season Ken, but we have to pull a few strings back together soon!

Y'all have a great time, take lots of pictures and take all the time you want spinning your stories!  :D

Ken,Looking foward to meet you for some hunting,We will have a good time I'm sure.I'll make sure I bring my camera.Hopefully you can make it down here in the late season for some black powder.>>>----> ED

[Keith Deters]

Remember that anyone hunting before Oct 1st will need last years license and tags.  From Oct 1st on you need this years tags.  I never liked the way the season year splits in the NZ.

Nice thing you're doing there Ken.  Don't forget to leave a spot open for hunting down in the SZ in Nov.

[drewsbow]

Ken :  I'm looking forward to this and have some stuff ready to go . I found that I have three sets of climbing sticks I can bring.
 Keith :  good point on the license , I hadn't thought of that :0)
 Man this is going to be good:0)  Drew

Ken,

Where are you akling about hunting in the ADKs.  I am coming up to Mexico/Pulaski next weekend and hopefully use last years tags for one more weekend at Happy Valley.

Let me know,

Glenn

[adkmountainken]

as keith pointed out if you are hunting Sept 30th you must have last years tag. you can take buck or doe. if you are lucky enough to get one on the 30th you use last years tag. Oct 1st you will use this years archery tag for either buck or doe. it is up to you to take buck or doe. i am looking to take my first deer with longbow so any adult deer will be a trpphy to me. this area however does produce some huge, heavy racked bucks. i have saw many and taken a few.
  If anyone has a 3d target they could bring that would be great.
 The are on the d.e.c map is 5j.

[drewsbow]

yup Ken I got one of dem too , will bring it up :0) Drew

[Huntrdfk@Work]

Ken I'll bring one when I come.

i'll be putting the final touches on stand and blind placement this weekend, everything looking good. lots of deer and turkey. its been raining for about 4 days straight so most of the scent should be gone from the new stands. i'll post a few pic's this weekend.

[ber643]

Go get 'em, guys! Good luck and be safe!

[woodchucker]

Well Boys!!!!! I have my calender all marked and it's official!!!!! Oct.7th,8th I will be hunting the "Big Woods" with Kenny,David and Jim!!!!! It sure will be good to see all of you guys again  

[Peckerwood]

Ken , sounds like a great hunt in the north woods !  I was in your neck  of the woods last weekend and what a great place! Unfortunately it was for my uncle's funeral. They live in Hamilton co. near Lake Pleasant and what little time I had to look around the woods looked positive . Lots of deer sign, moose and bear tracks , and the turkeys are like ants they are every where.I don't know how close you are to Lake Pleasant , but maybe a hunt or even a get together maybe in the future.
Good luck on your Adirondack attack...Bill

[adkmountainken]

just got back in from trying to hang another stand, couldn't get it secure as the wind was STRONG!!! probley have to put a pop up blind in that spot for the morning then readjust the stand with possibly climbing sticks. sign everywhere, someone will definitly get a shot at a deer on this hunt! i will be starting to call everyone tonight and throught the week to get together on directions and times. would really like toget everyone in to their stands by 6am if possibly. thereal challange will be getting everyone here on time in the morning!!! can't wait, i'm pumped!!!!!
