ADK hunter where abouts do you hunt? I grew up just outside of Malone. Our club is roughly 1600 acres, nothing but swamps and hardwoods the nearest farm filed is 10 miles or more away. I learned to hunt the mountain which in my mind is the hardest be far to pinpoint and shoot a big buck.We always found the mid Novenber was the best rut activity up there as well althouhg as I mentioned in order to be consistant you need to spend as much time as possible in the woods
