Made camp for a long weekend in the Adirondack woods for buck season with a few skilled sportsmen. We tried sits, drives, and spot and stalk hunting. I saw a few doe but never put eyes on a buck until Adam put one down in its tracks just after first light on a sit overlooking a deep saddle. Him and JP got it dressed and half way down a mountain, we carried it back into camp on a beech pole and temps finally cooled off just right to let it hang and age. There is satisfaction in this challenge and camp memories made. I'm hopeful my skill will match my enthusiasm and I'll get a shot at one on the next trip.

Once a year we celebrate wild game at Squirrelfest with recipes cooked over and around the fire. Squirrel Biryani, Squirrel Empanadas, Squirrel on a Stick, Squirrel Confit with Pumpkin in Brodo..to name a few... all washed down with homemade pie and beverages. Shoutout to @broadloomhdc for organizing and @whittemoreccc for hosting.
Terrific weekend helping keep an Adirondack tradition alive with @lean2rescue and @twotonadk.
F**k around and find trout!
Been seeing a lot of bears lately. I went back to put a trail cam over a deer gut pile just 5 minutes after a harvest and they were already having at it.
After reading Adirondack French Louie: Early Life in the North Woods by Harvey Dunham, I had wanted to explore more of the West Canada Lakes Wilderness to see for myself where he resided. @alexd_outdoors and I hit the woods and waters to follow his path and catch some brook trout and visit ol' Louie's shelter site. It was a fun challenge to get to it with boats and boots and practice some route finding on old trails through mud, overgrown with thick vegetation and crisscrossed with deadfalls.
