we try to keep the good places a secret. if everyone knew there was a turkey behind every chestnut tree it wouldnt be a secret for long. seriously though, the reason you dont hear much about cohutta is that most that go in there never come out.

So.....you mountain folks don't cotton to lowland strangers from the south Ga district humping hills after yo' birds?
I may make it a vendetta to bag a Cohutta bird. I'll make my YMCA workouts an hour longer to get in shape!
I have been wanting to hunt the mountains for several years now. I am thinking the last 2 weeks of the season.
So any secret info you hill folks want to give me just pm it.

walk the ridges and don't forget your GPS and lots of extra batteries. Possibly one of those new SPOT emergency locators (just in case). I hunted there before and killed a bird. After being in Ohio for 4 years and hunting the hills of the Appalachians anything is possible when it comes to bagging a gobbler out in that country. Just because he sounds like he's across the mountain doesn't mean he's there. He's probably behind you or down in a draw. Its tough to pinpoint a mountain gobbler. I was in West Virginia last year and hunted in Roderfield, which happens to have some of the biggest peaks in WV. Well, needless to say, it was one of the my toughest experiences in turkey hunting. We eventually got one, but by sheer luck. PM if you have any other questions. God bless.

Like evryone said, it is tough. I hunted there a couple of times many moons ago with a friend from Blue Ridge. IT IS TOUGH! I too am a big boy and it liked to have killed me. It is some of the most beautiful country and when you hear a bird, it is a ghostly sound with all the echo's in those draws and ridges. Make sure you know where you are and tell someone if going alone or with someone else.

I hunted around chatsworth a couple of springs back and the weather turned bad on us. It was the weekend that several lost their lives in Tn. We heard 1 bird and saw several in private fields. We talked to several locals eating breakfast one morning in chatsworth that were trying to put us on turkeys. They said there was a new wma open just south of there that had a Lake in the name and that is all I can remember. Those people up there are the nicest people I've ever meet any where in my life. I was waiting on my buddies to come out on peeples road and 4 different trucks came by and asked if I needed help. One nice mountain man offered me a custom box call to use for the next day. He said just mail it back yo him when I got back home. I didnt accept because I would have broke it somehow and could have never replaced what it meant to him. Him and his girlfriend then lead the way to a mexican restaurant in Chatsworth where we had a few beers and some chips. He tried paying for it but we wouldnt have it. Then went across the street and heard some karioke and played pool. Did not meet 1 rude person 3 days there. I tried getting my wife to move up there but she won't leave this crime infested, terrible public school system down here. Maybe one day. Thanks to all you kind people in north Ga. for making a couple of O.O.S. feel welcome.

Oh yeah!! Warwoman makes Cohutta look like mole hills. (I've never been to Cohutta
) This is the only place that you can walk a half a day in, and back out, and it is uphill both ways.I really don't understand how all you flatlanders can come from a place that is flat with no landmarks, and come up here in the mountains, with landmarks at every step, and get lost?
