Classic Photos Page
We wanted to take a
look back
at some of the best photos we've received since launching in
this site in 2000.
So we dug into the archives and found some old photos. These photos
are not always of the biggest bucks, they're just good photos that
capture a moment or tell a story. But, there are some dandy
Adirondack bucks taken each year and we're lucky to get to see them and
have included some of those here as well.
If you get a great photo this season please send it along and we'll put
it on our photos and other pages. Tell us as little, or as much
as you like about your hunt. Email photos to buck@adkhunter or adkhunter.com

One of the most popular groups of
Adirondack hunters is the Horn

remote hunting camp each
deer season. They were featured in the Dec. 1983 issue of Outdoor Life magazine and continue
to do seminars throughout the region. And... kill plenty of bucks!
