Traditionally, this date has been one of my best days in the Adirondacks. Unfortunately, I wasn’t in the Adirondacks today. Instead, Brian and I were in the woods pulling the last few stands we had set up. We also pulled the last few cameras we had left in the woods to gain valuable information for the future.
Amazingly, we woke up to an inch or two of snow on the ground. As we walked through the woods, we found many places where scrapes had been opened since daylight, and we even got a picture of a really good 10-pointer on a camera next to one of my stands. If someone had been sitting in the stand, he would have had a great opportunity to kill a really good buck.
We got done with everything, including taking down the tent and packing the trailer by 3:00 p.m. and were on the road by 4:00. We drove straight through and arrived home around 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 14.
