Miguel: Meals fit for a King ! : ) Thank you for taking us along on your NY Adirondack hunt. Your camp looked very comfortable for a Wilderness setting. I have always wanted to do this in Pa bear season or in the earlier archery season with milder temperatures. I am sorry your Remington did not bark... and create a kill for you. Thank you so much for this informational and entertaining wilderness hunting trip ! Best to you ! HH

![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/d25jMUf.jpg) Unfortunately, I didn't get to use my deer cart for its intended purpose, but table space was at a premium, and with a small piece of OSB, it served a good purpose after all! Hahah, so that's what those are for!  Who knew a deer cart would make a handy table in a pinch?

Thanks for taking us with you Miguel. The only thing i miss about NY is hunting the Adirondacks. Only hunted Lake Pleasant one day this week and it was cold for this yankee that has gotten used to warm weather! I sure don’t hunt for the deer population! Just the experience you have posted here is what it’s all about. Not many places you can sit at the base of a beech or birch or maple that is 4 feet in diameter at chest level, hard to put in words for someone who has not experienced it.
Any bear sign where you were? I’ve only killed one but seen several while at camp in Indian Lake.
Good hunting and thanks for the thread. I bumped into a bear opening weekend. I never even caught a glimpse of him. It always amazes me how such a large, lumbering animal can be so stealthy. During my trip I saw very little sign, which was good with me. I have seen what a bear can do to a camp and I’m glad I didn’t have to deal with that.

Hahah, so that's what those are for! Who knew a deer cart would make a handy table in a pinch? That cart had saved my ass lots of times!! As long as you have a halfway decent trail to use it works great. Numerous times I have walked up to 3 miles to my truck to get the cart to get a deer out. It literally makes it easy getting a deer out whole. I remember the first time using it and I was jogging in front of it going down hill with a 150 pound buck on it. I couldn’t believe I had ever gone through the agony of dragging one.

Whether you tell yourself you CAN do it.... or you CAN'T.... you're correct.

How was the weather[apologies if I missed it]. No snow!! In the 40’s during the day, mid 20’s at night. The weather was ok, but a little snow would have been great.

We haven't had snow down here for anything but late MZ season for 8-9 years. It helps greatly when the bucks are running/rutting.
