The Adirondack Park is a vast, six-million-acre wilderness in northern New York State, made up of expansive forests, rugged mountains, and remote backcountry. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, but one of the most sought-after game species in the region is the whitetail deer. While the Adirondacks are not known for high deer densities, the big woods produce true trophy bucks every year for those willing to put in the time and effort.
Our deer season begins in October and typically runs until the second week of December, with November being the most productive time to pursue a mature Adirondack buck. Hunting here is a challenge unlike any other—big woods, vast terrain, and unpredictable weather make for some of the toughest yet most rewarding hunts in the Northeast.
At Adirondack Mountain & Stream, we specialize in backcountry deer hunts. Whether you prefer hunting with a rifle or muzzleloader, our experienced guides have the knowledge to increase your chances of success. We tailor each hunt to fit your style and preferences, ensuring an authentic Adirondack hunting experience.
We offer flexible options to accommodate different hunting styles:
Day Hunts – Hunt deep in the Adirondack wilderness while staying at one of our recommended bed and breakfasts or hotels.
Extended Backcountry Hunts – For those looking for a true wilderness experience, we offer pack-in hunts where we set up a tent camp deep in the woods, allowing for multiple days of hunting in remote terrain.
Whether you’re looking for a classic Adirondack day hunt or a multi-day backcountry adventure, we are here to make your hunt a memorable and rewarding experience. Your adventure, your hunt—our goal is to help you make the most of it.
At Adirondack Mountain & Stream, we offer more than just big game hunts—our guided small game hunting trips provide an exciting way to experience the Adirondack hunting seasons. The park is home to an abundance of snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, woodcock, and various varmints, offering plenty of opportunities for hunters looking for fast-paced action in the field.
One of our most popular small game hunts is snowshoe hare hunting, which takes place from mid-December through mid-March. All of our hare hunts are conducted using our personally trained and owned beagles, ensuring an authentic and thrilling hunting experience. Our beagles are equipped with state-of-the-art tracking collars, allowing us to keep a close eye on them as they work, which means less downtime and more time hunting.
Whether you’re a seasoned small game hunter or new to the sport, our guides are here to provide a fun, action-packed hunt in the beautiful winter landscape of the Adirondacks.
Ruffed grouse and woodcock hunting are long-standing traditions in the Adirondacks, offering hunters a classic upland experience in one of the most scenic settings imaginable. With the brilliant fall foliage as your backdrop, hunting these fast-flying birds is both challenging and rewarding. All of the upland game birds in the park are wild, free-range native birds, making each successful shot even more satisfying.
Our ruffed grouse season runs from late September through the end of February, with woodcock hunting available during their migratory season. If you have your own bird dogs, we are happy to work with you to set up a customized guided trip, allowing you to hunt alongside your own dogs while benefiting from our local knowledge and expertise.
Whether you're looking for a classic upland bird hunt or simply an excuse to spend a crisp autumn day in the woods, our guided hunts offer an authentic Adirondack experience for hunters of all skill levels.
For those who enjoy the challenge of predator hunting, the Adirondack Park offers excellent opportunities to pursue coyotes, foxes, and bobcats. Whether you're an experienced hunter or looking to learn more about calling and hunting varmints, our guided hunts provide a thrilling and rewarding experience.
Our varmint hunts take place from December through the end of March, with the colder winter months typically being the most productive. Hunting these elusive predators requires patience, persistence, and skill, but the reward is an exciting and unique Adirondack hunting adventure.
