Local Hunter Ventures to Adirondacks

continued from page 1

from Adirondack Mountain and Steam Guide Service, led and owned by guide Jamie Frazier of Olmstedville, N.Y.

All hunters were successful as game was plentiful, but the weather and terrain presented a not before see challenge to the party of long time local hare hunters. Temperatures in the single digits and a snow pack of three to four feet slowed cross country travel. Snowshoes were a must at all times in a deep sea of white hard pack to traverse the terrain at high altitudes of three to four feet. High winds on Saturday, February 17Th bottomed out the wind chill factor at 40 degrees below zero.

The highly successful hunters of the "big woods" of the Allegheny National Forest declared that this trip was "no Sunday school picnic and should not be attempted by your garden variety hunter." The local hunters hunt and train themselves and their dogs regularly throughout the year in the Bluejay-Lynch areas of the Allegheny National Forest. The party was accompanied by four highly trained beagles owned by Ewing.

Guides with years of experience in the regions of the Adirondacks with survival training was the ultimate key to a successful hunt.
