So the consensus from you guys who have been is to stay in the southern end of the park for best opportunity with deer and not in the Tug Hill region in the west due to winter kill right?

Also can you take a bear up there in the archery season?

its not just winter kill, the deer in theses areas move out every winter and back in when it brakes in the spring, there just is not a BIG numbers to begin with and the NIG woods makes it extra tuff, this however, to me, is what it is all about!
How about you, myself and Brian set a date to do a little stup shooting and fishing this early spring? i can show ya the land i know and see what ya think.

Lets do it, when is the black fly season there in the spring, I have been thru that a couple of times. Makes it tough to do anything.

Tug Hill is a different story too. They get alot of snow, and the topography is different. No where I know inside the blue line is there deer hunting like you see on the horn porn channels. this is big wild country that affords you the chance to have a true wilderness hunting experience in the north east. Deer have a tough life here, and there aren't the numbers their are elsewhere. But being able to set up camp and having 6 million acres to roam, in areas that you feel barely ever see another human is a great experience..... the further north you go, say above blue mountain, the even colder it gets. The area between Caroga Lake and Blue Mountain (Speculator, Piseco, Indian Lake, route 10,8, and 30,) are less traveled, beautiful country. And when your there, stop in the Bear Trap in Indian Lake for a cold one and a view of the real local color.

the black fly season really kicks in about the thrid week of May however that far up like route 10 and Speculator it would be latter then that. 2 years ago i killed a nice jake with muzzleloader May 1 during snow flurries!

I have to keep an eye on this thread.

Not the Dacks but a lake in the Catskills at about the same time of year, early mid October. The picture doesn't do it justice, the real colors are just breathtaking.

Someone told me Stillwater area is good. anyone hunt there?

guspup · « **Reply #29 on:** March 06, 2009, 07:13:00 PM »

Stillwater is by Mechanicville, so you're a ways outside the blue line. So your outside the mountains, you're more suburban Albany, which means better fed deer, and more of 'em :-)

Stillwater resevoir may be what he is referring to. It is inside the blue line in the western Adirondacks not too far from Big Moose and it IS spectacular. Great canoeing.

Aram · « **Reply #31 on:** March 06, 2009, 07:37:00 PM »

Brian, that's just up the mountain from Margaretville, NY. Lots of great places to get away in that area. Wanna go?

Stillwater is suburban with lots of farmland still. Lots more deer but not a place to "get away". Unless you want to canoe down Hudson and camp on islands... hmmm!!!
Ooops, I thought it was the town also. I'll look up the reservoir too.

Man, you guys should see where I work...perfect place for a November bowhunt in the Catskills...

I will have to hunt the 'dacks soon...for sure.

VTer · « **Reply #33 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:29:00 PM »

I've done quite a bit of canoeing in the St Regis canoe area and always see a few deer while I'm there. Not sure how it would rank on the solitude scale, but during hunting season, I imagine the doofus crowd is gone.

Jeremy · « **Reply #34 on:** March 06, 2009, 08:33:00 PM »

Y'all need to stop talking about the Catskills... you're making me homesick! I grew up in Downsville, looking right at the Pepacton Reservoir dam.

adkmountainken · « **Reply #35 on:** March 06, 2009, 10:03:00 PM »

ok ok now who is going to step up and orginaize a Adirondak TG weekend??????????

horatio1226 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 07, 2009, 07:48:00 AM »

The best hunt organizer I know lives in the Great Adirondacks!!! Between my Cub Scout Pack, my Little League team and the Coxsackie Police Athletic League my organiztion time is pretty full. I would definitely be willing to help. That goes for the Adk Attack too. Sounds like a great idea! Let's do it!

ishiwannabe · « **Reply #37 on:** March 07, 2009, 10:54:00 AM »

Jeremy, I lived in Walton for ten years. Small world. If you ever want to hunt the Catskills, give me a yell. I work in Haines Falls, my sister lives in Delhi...etc etc.

Guys, think you are all on to something...anything I can do, shoot me a PM.
