It’s Been A While: Greetings Adirondackers, and happy summer. Which even up here we’re getting plenty of in the form of heat, rain and some nastiness on the heals of what was Hurricane Beryl. It’s been a quite a stretch of heat going to back to mid-June and I’ve heard little from few hunters that have spent any time in the woods. Early indications are that we’ve got a good apple year going, and we’ll see about acorns or even beechnuts. We’re due for a good mast crop year.
NY Outdoor News has been keeping me hopping, along with a camping trip here and there in the Adirondacks. Turkey season was epic, along with brook trout fishing in the backcountry. But the summer heat has kept this hunter stagnant. Coming up this weekend, July 18-21, however, NYON will be at Huntstock New York, a true hunting festival that has taken place in Massechusats the past two years and now debuts in New York. It’s in Vernon Center, not far from southwestern corner of the Blue Line of The Adirondack Park. There’s going to be a lot of familiar names there in terms of Northeastern hunters, including some Adirondackers, and most of all it will be a true festival atmosphere. So if you choose to attend, be sure to drop by the NYON booth and say “hello” at some point.
We’ll check back soon, stay cool, if you can!
