Would love to make it up there if there's any room remaining......but it will be tight.....I'm trying to stuff 15 lbs of #@$% into a 5 lb bag before the Westchester opener!

ronp · September 12, 2011, 07:44:00 PM

I'm happy on the ground, Ken.

ronp · September 12, 2011, 07:45:00 PM

I have a question, how can you sit pre-determined stand sites? I mean I would not want to mess up my hunting area by sitting stands with a bad wind. I would think it would be better to sit on the ground in a quick set-up than to hunt the wrong wind. Shawn

well as a group we only have 2 days to hunt. have you ever tried to place 10 hunters in to good wind? we are going to sit and hope for the best, weather will do what it wants but we will be a huntin!

sound like a good time for friends to meet and get a few hours of hunting in. The ned game is not taking a deer but I think it is more in new and older friends getting together to share the hunt and fellowship. have a great time and post photo's...

adkmountainken · September 13, 2011, 07:10:00 AM

Bill,
any chance you can make it?

Izzy · September 13, 2011, 07:45:00 AM

Ill take the ground pal. I sure wouldnt mind a spot I could do a little roaming in without messing someone else up. Last years ridge sure was cool.

Cyclic-Rivers · September 13, 2011, 09:03:00 AM

I'm good wherever but like Izzy, would prefer the ground so I can sleep and not roll out of the stand.
Shawn,

this hunt is about a gathering and the cameraderie of sharing stories and camp. Killing and seeing deer is wayyyyy second behind eating Nate's Cooking

Zmonster · September 13, 2011, 09:30:00 AM

Ken,

So far so good. Im still trying to work out the details with work, but I should be heading up on Saturday morning. I will be working Friday for sure. I will most likely leave camp on Monday evening, but more to follow on that...

When will you go to smoke pole? Im trying to work that as well.

That this all comes through for me.

Cyclic-Rivers · September 13, 2011, 02:25:00 PM

It'll be good to see you Casey.

Are you still shooting your Black Widow?

Shawn Leonard · September 13, 2011, 07:36:00 PM

Charlie, I kind of knew you would say that, but the point of any hunt and even my bunny hunt is to kill something. The other stuff is the added bonus. I have thought of doing a bowhunt here at my place and I have over 63 stands available but would only want several guys as I do not want guys sitting stands with the wrong winds, it just would hurt my chances later on, for what? So I could say I got together and had fun with a bunch of guys, I can do that on a piece that is not my hunting area. I just think Ken may be sacrificing a lot for thsi hunt. Shawn
