Good luck, just being there for that long is a real treat. Hope you can get a buck too.

I'm heading up tomorrow. I have 21 days off and don't know how many I will spend up there. It's warm and no snow so it's hard for me to stay interested in the big woods but time will tell, good luck.

I just returned from a long weekend up in 6C (Fri, Sat, Sunday).  On Saturday, I finally saw some antlers up there. As I was still-hunting between spots, I noted a four-pointer feeding on red-oak acorns up high on a ridge top.  He got a pass from me this time, but might not if I see him when we go back up for the long Thanksgiving weekend (If I am unable to fill my buck tag on opening weekend at home in the Southern zone).  I also flushed out a doe on Friday, and an unidentified deer this morning while still-hunting between spots.  

I have hunted up there 10 days so far this season, including most of ML season. opening day of gun and this past weekend.   I have seen about 10 deer total, all while still hunting, but only that one set of antlers.  In about 20 years of Adirondack hunting, the 10:1 antlerless:antler ratio has been amazingly consistent for me.  I have spent a lot more time sitting than still-hunting up there so far this season, but all of my sightings have been while still-hunting.      

I am really hoping for some snow up there on Thanksgiving weekend.   Not only does that make the hunting a lot better (easy to spot tracks and deer show up much better), it also takes makes the scenery better.  The scenery is the main reason I go up there (filling the freezer is much easier at home).

Just got back from up in the North. It was crazy windy and very warm, unseasonably warm!! I didn't see much activity and the lack of snow hampers my style.

I hope to get back up there this weekend and stay until after Thanksgiving; my wife has made it a tradition to cook a turkey and ALL the fixings at camp for the last few years. Nothing better than opening that camp door to smell the turkey and sit by the wood stove after with a full belly...

Best of luck guys !!!

Interesting seeing this now, it seems it all worked out for you

The plan all came together for sure with just one (actually 50 or more) little glitches.  That is about how many ticks I picked off of that carcass and killed yesterday, after I hung it up in the garage.   The non-winter last year must have been very good for them buggers.  I hope I don't see any more when skinning tonight, but I highly doubt that I got them all.   The ones in the white hair were easy to find at least.
