Lumpkin County

[ditchdoctor]

Went scouting a new area yesterday and walked in about 45 minutes. Found an area that looked like the runways at the airport. Found several medium sized bushes destroyed and several scrapes.The good thing, I found no evidence of anyone else being there recently. No trash, or cans, wrappers.. etc. I think I may have found the near perfect spot. Hardwoods with a mixture of pines and other shubbery. But the deer seem to be plentiful this year. So lets see what happens.

Anyone scouting in Lumpkin County? How does it look to you?

Been seeing alot of sign, just not too many deer. The occasional doe.Took a shot this morning at a spike. Want ya'll to know, I'm that rare hunter, nothing left of the deer I shoot but a little hair :D Pretty good for a bow. Spent 2 hours looking for blood, nothing.Course I knew that when I looked at the arrow, but wanted to make sure. I'm pretty sure that limb that needs trimming but didn't knocked it low.Nothing but a few white hairs, no blood on arrow,ground or on his route out.

Work is back to a manageable level so I should be hunting more soon. Supposed to be heading up to Suches this week or next if I can get away early. I will keep you guys posted. Anyone here hunt on K.K. Turner's land? I live on Crown Mountain and I see deer all the time...running in front of my truck!
