doubt i can make Saterday but it is possible! Sunday i will small game hunt and could put a small push on for anyone bear hunting around 11 or so depending how long everyone wants to hunt. most bear sign is up by the ledges around the mediciene stand with good sign above it and below it by the spine stand. i could walk someone to the spine stand early Sunday morning if they want me to? i'll then small game hunt, build a fire at camp and put some coffee on.

Ken,
No bears for me either.  I will be glad to get in a little tree rat hunting, and help to put on a push on Sunday A.M. though.

Sean, No one will give you grief if you choose other enjoyed hunting Utensils once seson opens up there in a couple weeks.

Especially if your thumb still isnt healed.  Others in camp enjoy BP as well.
Relax,

Sean,

Shoot me a PM if your thinking of heading up. I have a one man tent and/or a nice hammock with rain fly and net I could use if we get crowded in camp.

I may make it down next week, but Im still working some logistical issues on my end. I just picked up my SS license yesterday, so Im sooooo ready to get out there.

Ken (KAT),

Thanks again for the string. Its made the widow a much happier bow. Though, Im not completely sure if recurves are for me yet. I always wanted one, and since getting the PCH, Im not shooting it as much as I thought. I just feel more comfortable with my longbows. That being said, the PCH may be on the classifieds soon.

Ken (ADK),
I'll be sure to hit you up for a chance to shoot that Kanati. I hope you have a leash (or dummy cord as us Army guys call them) for it during these early season hunts.

Charlie,
Thanks for squaring me away on the licensing. I was over stressing it, as I thought I was going to have a similar experience as I did at the DMV trying to register my vehicles or worse yet trying to get my pistols legal.

Casey,
Well it seems as if every state has confusing regulations. I dont really understand why people in the adirondacks need an extra month of Rifle season.  

I have not lived here all that long but it seems as if regulations are part tradition and Part politics. I'm not tryiong to open a can of worms here thats what the law and regulations thread is about.

I just think they should have statewide regulations and do away with North and South Zones.

This would extend Archery season statewide and still give gun hunters 3 weeks to do their thing. It has been my experience, "most" gun hunters are done after opening weekend here.

I think I will be after Squirrels locally on Sunday. I still am considering a trip to the mountain but I will be taxed after a wedding the day before.

I am excited to be able to have an opportunity at some small game.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Well early up the Mountain in the AM on Saturday, early bear is on and hope to try out the ground blind that we set up. All natural with good shooting lanes in about 5 directions. Good time to scout for the deer opener coming shortly I'll be tote'n the Chad Holm recurve and some cedars, hope to get to draw it back and make some action. Can only hunt till Noon but thats a good 5 hours, by then my butt will want to move...lol!

I'll be there, too, Ron. Don't know if I'll make it a morning hunt or try for the whole day. Here's hoping Yogi shows himself...

Ken, don't matter to me I'm just going to stretch my legs and see if there is any activity on the lower part. If Tim is close it may work to either of our advantage.

Right now I'm planing for a over nighter next weekend. Either Fri-Sat, or Sat-Sun. Hopefully nothing impedes. Good luck this weekend guys. Hopefully I'll see you soon.

PM me your numbers and I'll call as it gets closer.
