I see a canoe but no water. Do you use it for a blind? maybe sleep in it? That looks like a backyard? that's convenient if ya' gotta run in the house and take a dump I guess... If one gets close to you in the yard, whack him with the paddle!

High Falls! Now you are getting personal. There is a pool about 40 yds below the falls where I took my biggest Brookie in 1957. If you launch at the Wanakena village you will find the water high this week and you will probably see snow. Get upstream about 1/2 mile above the falls and go East about the same distance to Grumpy's swamp. A local guy, Chris Lamphere, broke an ankle there about 1940, and was grumpy when found and had to be helped out. Some local guys named the spot Grumpy's swamp. Deer bed there. Have for at least 60 yrs. There just may be an illegal salt lick North of that huge Hemlock. Local legend, you know. I really know nothing about it.
There used to be a Ranger School maintained Adirondack lean to there that would afford some shelter. Little, but some. Been over 35 years since I was there. Wave when you go through the village of Oswegatchie. Born, raised, married, worked there.
Fletcher's motel in Oswegatchie is old but usually clean if needed.
Good Hunting,
Jim

This is where we end up for deer camp in north central Nebraska. Eastern edge of the Sandhills. Always a great time.

Been to Cat Mt. after a stay in the lean-to on the south end of Cranberry. Cat Mountain is pretty far off the beaten path. High Falls is even further. Good Luck with the Smoke Pole. Leaves are still thick I'd Guess. Web

The microburst and then the Ice storm fell vast amounts of timber in that area. As the second growth comes up it creates better habitat and thus more deer. Better hunting than years ago. Jim

CLB Even thou my Father owned my hunting camp, this is the camp he hunted out of in the late 50's right up until he died in 1986. This camp was thought to be the place to be during the Vermont deer season. The three owners were my fathers best friends. The camp is located about 1/2 mile into Vermont from the New York Border . Thousands of acres of woods surround it. One of the owners was a Baker by trade and did not hunt that much, spent most all day baking pies and fresh bread. At an early age my brother and myself were guest here for dinner. One cannot explain really what it was like to spend time in one of these camps. At a very young age I learned the saying " What is said and done in a hunting camp never leaves the camp"--- As the men got older they still went in for 7-10 days but the hunting became more and more at the poker table in the Bar. Now the sons of the owners and friends go in on a Friday, hunt Saturday- Monday and leave on Tuesday. Thanks Web

Your story reminds me of one I just read in Field & Stream online about a deer camp in Vermont. It's called "Good Deer Camps Never Die." It was submitted to F&S by a hunter in 2006 and subsequently published. I think the story is very good, and takes only about five minutes to read. Here's the link: http://www.fieldandstream.com/articles/hunting/2010/10/fs-classic-good-deer-camps-never-die?page=0%2C0

That's top shelf when it comes to an old time hunting camp. Worth keeping and keeping up.

Pretty much everything we "need" except a maid, but she would just get in the way.
