Nice.  You are braver than I.  Been snowshoeing a lot, just don't trust stumping and being able to find the arrows until spring.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Thanks for posting Ken, I have been a member of this camp for well over 30 years. It was established in 1922 by some fellas from Amsterdam N.Y. Used for hunting ,Fishing, hiking and snowmobiling for many years. Not a lot of deer but right on the edge of some true wilderness in the Adirondacks. You have a chance to see Bear, fisher deer and now moose. Not a bad place to spend some time.

No arrows were lost....a nock popped off and a judo stuck in a stump, but that's it. With Charlie willing to dig up half the woods looking we'll never lose an arrow...lol   :biglaugh:

hey Ron how old do you think that pine is and how old was the one you were talking about that was harvested not far from there years ago? i do not think most people realize how old and rich in tradition that area is pertaning to "wild" wilderness.

The last time that area was logged was the turn of the century. The camp it's self was purchased from a Civil War veteran named Jeb Hayes. That tree is "well over" 200 years old. Years ago they would leave a "Mother Pine" for seed when they logged an area.
