New York’s Adirondack mountains may not seem as desolate as other parts of the country, or even Canada for that matter. But tell that to a wilderness hunter, angler or backpacker who spends their time in the Adirondack backcountry, particularly in a remote area classified as Wilderness.

As deer seasons continue to intensify across New York, especially in the Northern Zone where hunters are on the cusp of both the early muzzleloading season and firearms opener, hunters are once again deciphering changes in the way we go about things. Whether they are good, or bad, depends on whom you ask.

In time for the opening of the Southern Zone archery and various small game seasons on Oct. 1, including the Northern Zone fall turkey season, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation announced that hunting tag proposals put forth this past summer for public comment have been adopted as regulations and are effective immediately.
Changes to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Angler Achievement Awards Program made in 2024 came a year too early for a Herkimer County angler who regularly fishes the Salmon River, near Pulaski in Oswego County.
According to a DEC spokesperson, the agency received a report of an angler inquiring about the identification of a 6.5-pound salmon he had caught from the Salmon River on Aug. 30. The angler, Cliff Chamberlan, thought he might have caught a rare pink salmon.

Back in the spring, when rains were washing out fishing trips and turkey hunts, I mentioned in this space that I wasn’t too complacent in terms of potential future drought conditions.
The indicator at that time was just how dry I noticed the soil to be while tilling my gardens, despite the amount of rain that had been falling throughout the region. Not to say, “I told you so,” but the spring reprieve from dry weather didn’t last long.

Another youth big game hunting weekend is about to take place in New York, as Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 11-13, marks the annual hunt for junior hunters ages 12-15.
During what is labeled a “firearms” hunt, junior hunters may use a rifle, shotgun, or muzzleloading firearm under the supervision of an experienced adult mentor with a NYS hunting license. They and their mentors must follow the state’s hunter orange/pink laws and cannot hunt from treestands.

I’m extremely fortunate to live on a piece of property that has been in my family for generations, as far back as the late 19th century. Like my father, I grew up here and in my younger days my uncle owned what was once the family farm that long ago was homesteaded by my great grandparents.
As boys, my two brothers and I wandered the woods, often with BB guns. As we grew into hunters, the woods on the family property produced its share of grouse and gray squirrels. As an adult, I’ve successfully hunted both deer and turkeys here.
