Thank you. I never thought about hunting turkeys there but a combo turkey/recon trip sounds intriguing.

I understand the challenges of hunting big country like the ADKs. I have shot plenty of deer in my life and it's about the experience and adventure more than what I am able to shoot. This will be my fourth ADK hunt and I have not gotten a buck yet. I would like to get one but that would be a bonus.
