Guided Adirondack turkey hunts in New York are a thrilling experence for the unindoctrinated! It is a fantastic time of year for those of us addicted to the gobbler game!Especially when you combine it with a little fly fishing! Since we can only turkey hunt until noon (Sundays too!!) the afternoon is left open for fly fishing for trout on the West Branch of the Ausable River or fishing the Spring land locked Atlantic Salmon run on the Saranac or Bouquet Rivers, as the smelt run up into the tributaries of Lake Champlain. Check out our Spring “Cast and Blast” package!
Our Adirondack turkey hunting is unique in the High Peaks/Whiteface region in that we are chasing Adirondack birds in the mountains. There are very few opportunities to find themin the open or call them into the open. We will take you into a particular range and locate birds through calling and put you on a bird. We will locate birds as we “hike and strike”.
Once we have located an a bird, we then provide you with the best opportunity to have a crack at your Adirondack mountain tom! The fact that we are in the mountainous woodlands of the Adirondacks gives the turkeys a greater chance of seeing us before we see them! You can usually pick a turkey up at around 30 yards or less. They can see and hear you from hundreds of yards away! No worries! This is what we do best! In fact our pricing structure is set up so that if you don’t get your bird, you only pay 50% of the guide costs! NO Turkey, NO Trophy Fee!
