Awesome!  Izzy and I had a fantastic time in a fantastic, remote area in the central Adirondack Mountains.  Nothing like being about 15 miles from a paved road.  No phones, no television, no traffic or crowds.  Only stars at night, and coyotes howling and owls calling.  This is quite a beautiful area.  And we each saw deer.  Unfortunately, the deer I encountered saw me first.  I crossed the top of a ridge near a well defined saddle after sitting in a stand I named "split rock".  I was just getting through some thick cover and the bedded deer spooked as I cleared the thick tangle of pine saplings.  It was laying on the southern slope of the ridge, but was in a nice and cool, dark, shaded stand of hemlock. So I guess I got a good look at the north end of a south bound whitetail!

But the moose sign!  It was the first time I have ever seen moose tracks, but I made up for it because I saw a ton of them.  That made the hunt for me, along with all the other sign we found.

But this was far more than actual hunting for me.  We had a great time doing some wilderness camping, scouting, eating well, and trading stories by the campfire as well as hunting.  We checked out a few of the camping areas and there is a lot of room for a good sized group of folks that want to do some camping and hunting.  We definitely have to do this again and hope you all can join us!

Thank you again, Izzy, for inviting me along.  I really appreciate it

Oh, and my camera malfunctioned last week so I apologize that I cannot add pictures.

And those venison burgers we had for lunch were mighty tasty.  Best burgers I have had in a long time.  Thanks Izzy!

Great story izzy! Enjoyed the pics immensely

Great stuff!

Sounds like you Guys found a nice place to hunt in the "Big Woods". Seeing a deer each in a 2 day hunt in that country is a Great Hunt!  I love the Moose River Plains area and hope that you Guys got room for another guy next hunt there. I would definitely bring the fly rod!

Awesome pics! Looked to be a great time. Thanks for sharing.

Gentleman, it looks like a great experience for sure!
I would love to join you next year.
It will give me a wonderful opportunity to learn from a couple of good Bowhunters.
Wish I could have this year but no tags from last year....
Ron, can't wait to see you to talk with you about it.
It is great you guys had such a great time

[Izzy]

Please!!! To all you fellas that requested and invite for next year, you were always welcomed and I wish I would have posted in POWWOW and not just the TBNY forum. I think we both enjoyed it so much that we were sorry to leave. I would have stayed an extra day had I not had to move my mom into her new place.

        The hunt for me, captured an essence of hunting that I wish I would have partaken in sooner. Tent hunting is the BOMB! Ive hunted many times from camps (cabins) where I could hunt right out the door and have shot deer from the porch but hunting from a tent in big woods, Im hooked bad.

         I know its early but Ron and I would love to have any and all of you up there with us next year. Please come, you'll be refreshed by it all, I know I was.

         We did a bit of camp scouting and there is room for 20 or more hunters. Sounds like it would be crowded but trust me it isnt. Im talking 40,000 acres and room for an encampment where we could pitch many tents with adequate facilities for at least a dozen tents within a large clearing. A man could be hunting 10 feet from his tent or walk for miles in any direction and have a whole ridge to himself.

         Bring your bows fellas, all TGers and family are encouraged to join us next year.

And just a heads up if you werent aware. Terry and Rob have provided us with a NY dedicated forum. Down in the state trad org section. Its in it's infancy but it will grow some.

Izzy and Ron, thanks for sharing your adventure; that must be one helluva wilderness.

Another sight that stirred my imagination. Odins Throne!

[ronp]

All that moss covered terrain was cool.  It was like walking on a mattress in a lot of places.

[Izzy]

What I wouldnt do to put a trail cam on this run.

My newest huntin buddy that I hope to share many more trails with, RonP.
