Brother Ken,

What do you think about getting folks set up and trying to call in some Bears with a predator call?????  

I have heard of that Chuck...I have been doing some research pertaining to thinning out the local population of garbage raiders, bird feeder maulers....
The stuff I read suggested a fawn bleat as the most productive, but I think it was targeted more towards a spring hunt.
Hey either way someone may get a shot at a yote or something.
Man you guys are gonna have fun....

Jamie,

Bill Curliss Shot a BEAUTIFUL black bear over in Ellenville 2 years ago using a fawn bleat. The bear came directly in and Bill shot it at (under?????) 10 yards!!!!!

Looking foward to hunting with all you folks in NY in October.  I will be there with my brother in law for two days.  }--> Mike

Man you guys are making me homesick!! I lived in New Paltz for 11 years and mostly only come back for hunting weekends during the season.  Thinking about hunting over on Lundy's and fishing the Rondout Res. gets me a little misty. I really miss the heck out of that whole area.

 Seeing you are from Dutchess (Woodchucker), really gets me going as I'm priveleged enough to hunt a huge slice of heaven over in Rhinecliff.  Man is that place amazing!!

Thanks for getting my blood going. Memories of that area are what carry me through the whole rest of the year. Take care

I've been wanting to take a black bear with my bow more than I have a deer, so I'll second what Chuck said...

So it would be bad to miss the arrival of the first born because I was off hunting the mountains.....right?
I know I know....I wouldnt.  

OK Jamie.....Maybe we can help you out.....   :rolleyes:

You see my friend.....First babies are ALLWAYS late.....

Labor ALLWAYS takes a LOOOOONG time.....

Johnstown is ONLY about an hour away from Coxsackie.....

We DO get good cell phone service on the mountain.....

Now let's do a "drill".....  

Expectant "Dad" Jamie comes up to the mountains to hunt because "new babies are "ALLWAYS" late. The "New Baby" decides to come early because it doesn't know "the rules" and it REALLY doesn't "care" that "Dad" is on a hunting trip. "Mom" calls "Dad" on the cell phone and tells him that the "New Baby" is coming early,and she is on her way to the hospital. "Dad" assures "Mom" that he is "on his way" and will be there in time for the  "little ones" arrival. "Dad" hot-foots down the mountain with the entire "Adirondack Attack" crew in tow,(after all,there was nothing THIS exciting going on up on that mountain anyway LOL). The entire crew takes off for the hospital in a "TradGang Convoy" and arrives in plenty of time for "Dad" to get out of his hunting clothes and into his "birthday suit" and join "Mom" in the delivery room. Meanwhile.....The Adirondack Attack crew is pacing back and forth in the "waiting room" leaving a "multitude" of muddy boot prints on the floor. Finaly the "New Baby" arrives!!!!! The TradGangers CHEER!!!!! and all of the "Gang" agrees that it is the GREATEST TROPHY of the season.In true Native American Tradition the "New Baby" and "Mom" are showered with gifts,and the "New Baby" is given an "Indian" name.....like....."Precious Little One,With Bad Timing"

Well Jamie, Do you think she'll go for it?????  

Personally Jamie, I think that Chuck's a genius cause that plan is the best thing I've ever heard...   :D

Now thats funny....I think she would smack me upside the head for even suggesting it though.LOL.
 

TTT For My Brother!!!!!

I was "surfing the net" LOL the other day looking under "Adirondack Mountains".

I found an ad for an "Adirondack Sport Shop".....selling "Adirondack Scents and lures".....

They had an "Adirondack Bear Lure".....

I wonder if it works as good as "Woodchucker's Liquid Bear Bait"?????  

For a  non resident its gonna be $250.. thats deer, bear and archery tag.. Buy the super sportsman and you can come back and hunt muzzleloader and/or for the same price.. I would like to come I miss hunting Ny .. Pa only has coyotes...

I just noticed its another $30 for the bear tag.. but with the sportsman package you get a fishing , muzzleloading and turkey permit...

I'm interested in this and PM'd you... don't personally know most of you guys but it sounds like a good time,, and not too far from me..

Ted

 Ted, it would be an honor to have you hunt with us as it seems you are pretty like minded with the rest of us. i got to warn ya on misses and other infractions as the honorable Justice T Woodchucker is in charge of the kangaroo court!
