Thanks guys. I did my first 3 trips to the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness. I am leaning toward going back since I know the area but the hunting hasn't been great. I always enjoy the experience though.
With regard to building a shelter, I have considered doing that - maybe even building a frame in the summer. I also thought about putting a cache of emergency food out there before the season in a bear proof container. There are also some lean-tos around if not occupied by other hunters.
I had a book on Adirondack hunting but can't seem to find it. I'll order another one if they are still available.
