Chuck i have to hand it to you, we did have the best of luck. Boy we sure would need a lot of snow to bog those deer down

Oh man, don't give Chuck any ideas, Stone Knife. Last thing we need is him thinking he hear's a challenge...

BOY!!!!! It's HOT Outside..... :rolleyes:

Stone Knife · June 13, 2007, 06:47:00 PM

It is now but here is some of Chucks handy work.

It's a five hour trip from here but if things go right for me i think i could make it. It would be fun to get together with some of the folks from Trad Gang.

Chuck,
i would love a heavy snow for early October! we will be hunting a huge stand of acorns and beech nut, a heavy snow would draw them in there like fish in a barrel!!! ya better warm up them happy feet and bring it on!!!

How is hunting down there? I live up in Schroon Lake but bought a small camp in Broadalbin. My boy stays there he is going to Fulton Montgomery. I hope to try a little bowhunting down that way this fall.

Don't forget BEARS Kenny!!!!!

Hmmmmm.....Bears, Beechnuts, and Heavy Snow.....

ishiwannabe · June 14, 2007, 09:24:00 PM

You guys are killing me....LOL. I guess a new boy is a good enough reason to miss this.....this time. So this is an annual thing right?

Hey Chuck....might have been a lot of snow...but there were 16 less bunnies than when we began. Dance away man....and I may need some pointers on rain dancing....so I can get some time off of work.LOL. I need to go fishing already.

adkmountainken · June 14, 2007, 09:55:00 PM

Dean,
Broadalbin is only about 30 minutes away from where we will be hunting. it is manly public land bordered by some posted land which i have permission to hunt. if you can come up to hunt bring a gps and i'll show you some great spots to put stands so you can come up and hunt by yourself throughout the year, i don't mind sharing its a big mountain with many ridges. it does not get hunted AT ALL during archery season. gets some pressure during muzzleloader and then POUNDED during rifle season. when rifle opens i move to another area. i have a good 4 or 5 spots that are public land i can hook you up with which would only be a 20-30 minute drive from your camp. the mountain we hunt is full of oaks and beeches. there are a few swamps waaaaay on top.

Best part about the hunt is that you will probably never meet a finer host than Ken.

Last year was one of the finest weekends hunting in a long time.

Ken maybe the waitress from the Italian place we ate at in Johnstown could do a seminar on "catching" deer.

Stone Knife · June 15, 2007, 05:27:00 AM

Jamie,
There will be plenty of time to hunt, but not a lot of time that your son will be a baby. before you know it he will be telling you how to hunt

Enjoy those kids while there little.

tonto · June 15, 2007, 07:08:00 AM

Ken
Ill have to try and make it. If you guys run short on space I can set my camper up at the camp and someone can stay there. Do your area fall in the northern or southern tier? If you come up north I can find a ridge for you to sit also. Not as many deer but sometimes you see a big one.
Dean

woodchucker · June 15, 2007, 06:45:00 PM

We will be hunting in the Northern zone

BUT.....Come down off the Mountain,cross the road,and your in the Southern zone!!!!!

Talk about the best of both worlds!!!!!!!!!!

(woodchucker say....."He be one Lucky Mountainman")

ishiwannabe · June 15, 2007, 08:22:00 PM

I hear ya and thanks Jim. It just sounds like it would be right up my alley.
I wish everyone the best of luck. I would say have fun, but I think that is a given.

adkmountainken · June 16, 2007, 07:14:00 AM

Dean,
as Chuck said Route 29 is the north/south border. i rarely hunted south untill i moved to Fona last year where i have permission to hunt a small piece of land by my house. i am a northern, big woods hunter through and through. the area i hunt holds a good population of deer although ya don't see them every time as you know. there are some real slammers here as i took a B&C buck ( 171 1/8 ) in 1985. also took a HUGE 8 point 3 years ago. you don't see as many as hunting south but i love the mountains and the chance of seeing a real slammer and a good supply of bear. just something about hunting those ridges and listing to the coyotes and turkeys, brings me back to a time long ago. i am not in it for the kill although i love venison, these mountains and strems run through my blood, without them i would be lost.

Aram · June 16, 2007, 08:07:00 AM

I'll be there. This will be the last two weeks of hunting big game before Ru can buy a big game licence. He turned fourteen in Feb and he's chomping at the bit. It will be all over when he's on the lose.
Aram

woodchucker · June 16, 2007, 09:58:00 AM

Who's that guy in the funny lookin' red hat?????

Thank You My Brother!!!!! That picture sure brings back GREAT memories.....

Aram, That "boy" of yours has really turned into a FINE young "Man"

Bring him along!!!!!

(If anyone can "thump" one of those Black Squirrels Ru can!!!!!)
