I have seen and taken a few large Whitetail over the years but these were definitely the biggest I had ever seen in 35 years of hunting.
I still think they were some type of cross/hybrid between the two species. My buddy was telling me what I probably saw was what is called the Adirondack buck, a sub-species of the North American whitetail and the Canadian / Quebec species.
Any truth to that, that you know of?
I've never heard anything like that. And I hunt closer to canada than the malone area. I live up in Colton, right near Potsdam and I have never heard of an "adirondack buck"
