Cool photo. IMO more pulpwood logging in the Adirondacks would be a good thing for a wide variety of wildlife. I agree, Gould Paper sold the Moose River Plains ( around 50,000 acres ) to the state of NY in 1959. At that time Gould’s had multiple logging contractors harvesting there. My Father told me, during the 50’s there were tons of deer in the plains. Today ,60 years later without a single tree being cut, there are few deer there. And yes I do have more photos.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Moose river plains was a traditional winter yarding area for deer. Removal of the spruce probably didn't do them any favors. Years back I was with my nephew when he tracked down a buck near Beaver lake. The heavy snow had collapsed our tent onto us before daylight. We got it set back up and went hunting when the snow looked like it was letting up. We got the buck to the tent that was collapsed again and packed up to leave. We were pushing snow with the grill of the Explorer all the way back to Inlet. Heck of a hunt!

The spruce forest, ( winter yard thermal cover ) has regenerated, but the deer herd has not.
