Tughill

Got keep moving so we don't RUST!

That was wild ! Never heard of a fight to the death if the weren't locked up.

Thanks everyone. The 8 miles on Tughill you can drive, it takes just about an hour. Pretty rough but good hard road. I canoe into the area in the Adirondacks. The cell phone unfortunately works at the tent site and I carry a SPOT messenger . It works off the satellites and can send a distress signal with GPS locations. Talked to the ranger up there and he was familiar with the SPOT and said they work. Time in the woods is all vacation days ! I go to work when I'm sick ! lol

My passion is to track whitetail deer. Can't say I'm proficient at it, but I've had some good years. I own a camp on Tughill , roughly 8 miles back in for anything with power. Enjoy the camp atmosphere and the hunting and friends but I always yearn for the Big Woods. The Adirondacks. So now with a beautiful camp , warm and dry , I spend my season in a tent tucked away on some state land, that some have said I was 'nuts' to be back there. 23 days last season , most by myself spent in the tent. Had a few nights towards the end of the season last year at -15 degrees. But the tent stayed just as warm as the camp ! Getting back to the ways our fathers and grandfathers enjoyed the woods has been the best thing. I can't get many to go, it's ' Forever Wild' so you walk (seems people don't do that anymore !) but I'm grooming a few that have had their eyes opened , and really seem to love it as much as I do. Old school-yes , but thank god for my GPS !!!!

The day in my early 50's I was sitting on the sunny side of a mountain in the Adirondacks, miles from the nearest road and realized after all these years, it was the hunt not the harvest that kept me coming back to the Big Woods..
