Looks like I started something good here, I will definetly help organize something.
First we have to settle on where.
Where that gives us a good chance at seeing game, an opportunity to get back away from the motor vehicle bound guys via canoe or boat.
Second is when, that is where research into the deer and/or bear seasons in the park is.
Also when as maybe a get together for some canoe based scouting on the area we decide.
Also is there a permit situation for camping down thees waterways in the park?

Camping permits are need on any state land for stays over 3 days.

Archery deer season opens 9/27 every year and bear opens 9/15, any weapon. After the first weekend of archery, Mz season starts for deer for 1 week.

Jamie, They're my nephews,the oldest Daniel is about your age. They live on the corner by the Beerston B.W.S. police station. (where Rt.10,South River Rd,and Beers Brook Rd. come together.) I killed my 1st buck on South Mountain in 1978.

Awesome Chuck...South Mountain is rather nice, isnt it?

Im up for a get together as long as I can work, literally, around it.

Thanks No-sage. Cool think about the Adirondacks is that the opener gives you three extra days to hunt on those tags I didn't manage to fill all past season.

The catskills are in the southern zone so the season opens later in October.

do any of you fellows have a compendium that shows the archery dates for the Adirondaks?
And up there is there a concurrent period for bear too?

You can also bowhunt during Early Bear Season.

During bowhunting season, there may be bear hunters in the woods with rifles. Just something to remember when you're moving about.

So for me to hunt bear early during bow I would have to have a tag from 2008? WTH

For a float/canoe hunt check out Cedar River Flow.

Uncas · « **Reply #53 on:** March 07, 2009, 11:04:00 PM »

Great to see other people with similar adventures planed. I want to spend a week in the spwa on my own adk "safari" starting 10/1. bear, deer, turkey and brookies. The trout is the only sure thing.

adkmountainken · « **Reply #54 on:** March 08, 2009, 07:53:00 AM »

Uncas,
the turkey population in the Adirondacks is in my opnion at an all time high. there are good pockets of turkeys waaaaaay back in the ridges and VERY, VERY FEW hunters after them. if you don't mind hiking back in off the road and doing A LOT of scouting you will be suprised at the numbers.

Uncas · « **Reply #55 on:** March 08, 2009, 10:18:00 AM »

mountainman,
thats good to hear! every summer i always see some. but always on the same road and same opening. I saw alot of sign on a backpacking trip as well.

South Mtn!

I played cat and mouse with a group of 6 does and a bear one day there. We all just kept circling each other as the wind shifted.

I spent most of my time on Bear Spring Mtn; too many hunters and most of the deer just dropped over the ridge to the soy bean and corn fields on the old ranch property. A lot of good memories on that hill though.

ishiwannabe · « **Reply #57 on:** March 08, 2009, 12:48:00 PM »

I spent a lot of time on Bear Spring as a kid...actually hunted the farm directly below it A LOT.
Starting to sound like old home week!

Ken, sure hope I can make the AA if you have it this year...

Is it possible we are all talking about different South Mountains? :D

woodchucker · « **Reply #58 on:** March 08, 2009, 08:41:00 PM »

Jamie, I doubt it LOL!!!!! The farm below along the river belonged to my Brother In-laws family. If you guys want to get together,my Brother In-law and his brothers still own a big chunk of that mountain. They own from where they "Hang-Glide" on top down to South River Road,and from the top down to Beers Brook Road,across from Houck Mountain.
