if any one is local and interested a few of us are heading up on the mountain that i hunt to make a small camping area, have a little cook out (frog legs/venison!!!) and do a little stump shooting. this is all public land if anyone wants to see a new area, all are welcome. looking at a 8am meet time.

Have fun my mountain man buddy! This city boy is stuck down here building his wife her dream house. Hope to spend some time in the "dacks" with you this year.

... mike ...

I'm in. I guess I'll have to be now that frog legs are on the menu and they are in my fridge  

Pictures fellas!Remember the pictures,we'll be waiting......  

i'll take some pic's. looking like rain but that will not scare this bunch! the area we picked is pretty sheltered from rain on the top of a little knoll by a creek, a most beautifull place!

Yup, looks like an all day soaker. Good luck! Least you'll be able to find the high ground.

I tell ya, If my hand weren't in a cast, I'd join you.  Comes off Friday!

Man I could use an outing like that. Just got in from stumping and loving it. I have a b-day party for my oldest son (17) tomorrow. Please keep me in mind for the future. Even the rain sounds good!

Anyone else? If not I may have to leave a few frog legs at home! Not sure the three of us can handle all of em plus the venison.

YAAAAAAAA going to be a soaker is right!!!!!!!!

there's always next weekend!  

Any one upset they missed today?  Not me!!! Although there wasn't much "cook out", we managed to get camp roughed out.  One more visit and it will be ready for hunting season season!  

Sean, Come out next weekend just to hang out. It's a bit of a drive for you but you're always welcome up!  Hope that thumb is healing right this time.  You have to tell us about your bear hunt too.

Sorry Gary, No Pics!  It was just down pouring the entire morning and we didn't want the camera to get wet.  maybe next week.

Charlie just wanted to say thank you for all ya showed me how to do today and for allways being in great spirits no matter the conditions! i look forward to next week.
No pic's today as it was a soaker but what a beautifull camp it will be. will take pic's next week.

Sounds like you made the best of it, after all isn't that what it's all about. I messed with arrows and traps today.

Yes, gotta see some pics next week. Sounds like it will be a fun time. Camping and hunting in the Adirondacks. I took advantage of the scent eliminator rain and hung a treestand today.

Yo know Greg we were having that same conversation on the mountain wondering if hanging tree stand s in the rain would help.

If camp is any nicer, I'll be moving in   :rolleyes:

Today was a perfect rain for hanging stands. A good steady rain but not a downpour. I try to be more careful, because the rain makes my sticks a little slicker and the chains on my stands slip a little on smoother trees like the basswood tree i set my stand in today. Seat of the Pants and a lifeline make the difference.

Are you guys backpacking into this camp or can you haul bigger items in like cots and chairs and stuff like that?

Greg, It's an uphill hike! not sure how far but can feel like a couple miles at times.  I would guess it's about 1-1 1/2 miles in but you can pack things in, heck we even carried 2 cast iron pans in today.

The lean-to will probably only sleep 3-5 comfortably but not with cots. Plenty of room for tents though.

If people work together we can get the handy items up there, IE. a lantern, stove and food.  It really isn't that bad, you could make 2 trips pretty easy. There's stump shooting along the way so you can take your time and enjoy the hike.

Best part is, you will not be bothered buy anyone, at most you may hear some 4 wheelers but I think your chances may be better seeing bear!

yup you could pack in the kitchen sink if ya wanted to. i however would like to keep it real simple and primative. about the only deluxe thing i think we could really use would be a small Coleman stove or something to that effect. you will not see ANYONE up there during bow season except whi is hunting in our group.

that sounds  like good fun Bro. have fun and be safe.
