The adirondacks are a whole different animal. I pretty much do all of my hunting up there I have a camp in esex county and my Dad lives in warren. I cant say its bad hunting but hard hunting is definetly the word to use. lets just say it will take a long time to fill the trophy wall. And the amount of land you have doesnt mean much up there as there is so much state land and you will probably never see another hunter. Great for safety bad for deer movement. I hope I am not discouraging you because the shot at an old mature buck is definetly always a possibility. This is the reason I spend most of my time up there even though i have more productive land elsewere. Good luck give em hell. any advise on the area feel free since my dad lives up there we pretty much know the area good.
