YOUR chance at a HUGE Adirondack buck, i'll help (now pic's) and a dilemma!

Gil Verwey · June 23, 2010, 01:38:00 PM

Here is a picture of a big woods Maine Buck. It dressed 265. The bases were over 8.5". It filled a full size chevy pickup. Just in case soembody wants to play hide and seek with a big woods Adirirondack buck. I thought this might fire you up. It was what used to bring us back to Maine every year. I wish I was the one who harvested this one.

i have been VERY VERY lucky with rifle before i started hunting trad, i took some slammers here in the Dacks including a B&C brute. they are here trust me. i have saw 3 and killed 2 of them that would make a grown man cry.

Ken I love hunting big woods and always wanted to give the Adirondacks a try. If I wasn't already locked into Ohio for two weeks I would be taking you up on this offer. I hope somebody does, it is a great opportunity you are offering.

3Feathers[Tim], this fall we'll hook up and we can go up to the camp I belong to and I'll show you around. Can't say you'll see Ol' mossy horns but you'll love the country!!!!!!!

Hey Gil, nice pic,I the miss the northwoods every year{have'nt} gone the last two, & even stayed at Deans for a few yrs.Killed a couple nice bucks further north,there's no place I'd rather be,God I love that state.I still hunt the adirondacks out of my wall tent around Speculator.Ken, nice bucks! its what the adk bucks should look like!

ronp · June 23, 2010, 05:50:00 PM

I hunt over in the Benson area, too. I believe the name of the mountain is Norton. Big, beautiful country, but the deer herd has been down lately. Maybe the milder winter helped. The area Ken is talking about is fairly close, I think. I spoke with a gentleman last summer who lives on Rt 30 a few miles north of Northville and a moose was hit by a car not long before. The second one in about 3 or 4 years, he said. Like everyone has said, this is a beautiful area.

Gil Verwey · June 23, 2010, 05:52:00 PM

Jim that picture is at the gas station and little store across from Deans. Deans is in the background across the street. I love northern Maine also. This year we are doing Ohio, next year a DIY elk, but the year after we are headed to the Big Wooods again.

Two Dogs · June 23, 2010, 06:37:00 PM

Gil, know it well,I can smell the air as I write this!The last 2 yrs. the winter kill was so bad it almost wiped out the herd.Last yr.wasn't so bad.I'm still toying about going this fall.Good luck in Ohio,some really fine Bucks there.

adkmountainken · June 23, 2010, 07:04:00 PM

pm's answerd, lools like some interest. i would REALY love to be able to do this for a whole week myself but as i said i really want to punch a few tags this year and have such places to do that. i will definitly be going to take a kayak trip this weekend to get gps readings, pictures, video and if possible a short walk around to look for mast crop trees and deer trails/ if there is anything anyone wants me to look for just let me know.

adkmountainken · June 23, 2010, 07:11:00 PM

adkmountainken · June 23, 2010, 08:45:00 PM

Tim i will be going for a kayak ride Sunday, i'll give ya a hollor.

Ga.boy · June 23, 2010, 09:38:00 PM

Wow Ken, what an offer. If I were a younger man I would jump on it. I gave up the gun and started trad hunting in 2003 and like you, I'm still looking for my first trad. whitetail. I was lucky enough to bag a good gobbler a few years ago with the help of my son's excellent calling and one of Bernie's wing bone callers. Hope this will be my year for a good buck. I really want to change my avatar! LOL. Good on you.

Oh Yeah, do you remember this arrow?

adkmountainken · June 23, 2010, 09:44:00 PM

yup i remember that arrow! i still hunt with a couple just like it.

crotch horn · June 24, 2010, 01:48:00 AM

Ken,
Have been watching this thread with great interest. Would love to take you up on it but I too would like to bring home a trad buck this year & have more likely places to fill a tag. Even so, will discuss it with you because I may just give it a go for a couple of days. Will be talking to you.
Dan

adkmountainken · June 24, 2010, 06:27:00 AM

Dan,
as i statedthat is EXACTLY why i'm not going to hunt there, chances are slim man! i;ll give you a call by this weekend about getting with Ron W and bow making. i am going for a kayak ride Sunday if you would like to go.
