It's been another good hunting season for Adirondack hunters and the proof is in the photos below. Give this page time to load, there are quite a few bucks, bears and other critters here.

A note regarding photos: This year my mailbox has been filling up more than ever and this is both good and bad news.  The good is that successful hunters are sharing their photos with us, which is great and much appreciated. The bad is that today's digital cameras take excellent photos which happen to be big files in terms of the space they fill up on an email server.  If possible, please reduce your photo sizes to less than 1mb or send only one or two photos per email.  By all means do not lower the quality of your original photos on your camera as you'll want them for yourself to preserve your own memories of your special hunt.  We're just asking for a little help from those who know how to alter photos in making them smaller in size prior to sending them. If you do not know how to do this don't worry. If an email is returned to you please re-send it later.  We'll do our best to download our email more often and apologize to those who have had their emails returned.  Sometimes we go hunting too! Thanks!
