Some time this gun hunting season if I can dont think I will be able to spend more then 2 days up there tho basically just going for a long walk in the woods not expecting to see much but that is ok . You never know maybe the deer gods will bring me luck . If I go I will definitely post pics of the trip even if I see Jack

Yea hotel motel probably I'm much more into hunting then camping but I love roaming tracking on a lot of ground . Near old Forge there is this nice hotel I stayed at when I was up there last summer exploring around route 28 probably stay there.

Yea I here you I will bring my 2 GPS devices and 2 compasses maps magnesium stick lighter and even some fuel to start a fire even in wet conditions And a good knife

Hotel motel or sleep in the vehicle even I dont want to bring a bunch of crap up there .

Yea I drove on 28 around moose lake /moose planes one of the first places I went to check out that summer . If I go I want to time it when there is snow on the ground then i feel I have half a shot of at least spotting one .

In the summer I always go to around lake George and usally drive across to old Forge area . Last summer I GPS marked a few spots along the road going between those to areas I pretty much drove all of the main roads on the lower west east and south areas of the park . Up to lake placid The only parts I have not drove around is the upper northern west side of the park. Really I want to go up there with snow on the ground so I can maybe pick up on some fresh tracks

That's what I thought I go up there almost every year in summer time , never winter or fall and have only seen deer 2 times in my life up there did not see horn but the bodys were massive. Even so I think it will be a adventure all the same. I'm thinking if I dont do it soon I'm physically not going to be able to soon getting old sucks .

I have this dream of one day going up to the Adirondacks and just walking off into the woods for 2 or 3 days Spot and stalk hunting still hunting how ever you want to call it . I got a few places mapped out that I drove by in the summer time . But realistically what are the chances I can spot and shoot a buck in the Adirondacks , When I dont live near by and have limited time . I am sure it will be fun all the same , But what are the chances I even see a buck up there in only 3 days ? How much time do you need to have half chance at it up there ?

Yea he said he paid $2000 for that Beretta shotgun dont remember the model.

Yes true in Putnam especially you get hickers bikers dog walkers joggers beer drinking kids using those areas at times . You never know could have been planned or could have been just opportunist who saw a chance to easily steel something to make a fast buck . I have a hard time thinking that another hunter would do that . Could have also been a anti hunter for all we know .

Yes I think so

The guy was in his late 70s He worked his ass off his whole life to injoy his retirement doing some hunting and gets robbed . Some people are such scumbags .

Those state land lot areas not to many people around alot of the times so I guess he got a false sense of security. He did not say but he may have just forgot to lock the door . But he said it all went down in 5 minutes or less .

Was talking to a guy who had his shotgun stolen from the parking lot at one of the public land areas in Putnam. Beretta shotgun , Said thinks was someone in a red pickup The guy put the gun down in the back seat of a his vehicle and walked less then 100 yards to wash his hands in a stream near the lot said he was gone less then 5 minutes . Came back gun was gone noticed a red pickup leaving the lot as he was walking back he said Lesson dont leave nothing in your car unless its locked and out of sight especially a firearm!!

Great idea but you could easily buy some blaze orange material off ebay or Amazon for cheep and attach it to any backpack just as easily.

You just made me joke on my eggroll with that one lol

Now that that's not working there going back to the old story about trump not being a good businessman and trump did not pay his taxes https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/03/opinion/letters/trump-taxes.html How many times can they bring up this old bs and still be credible?

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/03/opinion/letters/trump-taxes.html These guys will stop at nothing to get this guy .

It happened in a different state Connecticut or Massachusetts on the Border somewhere nipmuk state forest

Sorry for your loss

What are you saying the kids look at hunting as a old man's sport ? Or something else ? Be specific we are not all mind readers here, thanks .

That is true , Some times you are kinda of doing both what I mean is we remember where we have seen deer beds or jumped deer in the past and will stalk up to that area but will be still hunting on the way there . If you know where the deer like to hang out or bed in your area it improves you chances dramatically when doing this .

I think its instinctive to want to stalk when hunting . The native Americans tribes in africa are ancestor stalked and drove game in hunts this way way before, long before any other method , And they didn't have weapons that were nearly as good as the ones we use today .

I and my dad lots of my cousins like to do this with both bow and gun on both small and big game all the time not saying it is better way to hunt but it sure is more fun, stalking.
