Anyone gonna give Dawson Forest one last shot this week? Also curious as to how many people hit the late archery week on DF? I am planning on getting several days in next week. Hope to thin the doe population by 1 more and put some tender meat in the freezer.

me and a couple of buddies are going. I can only get in the woods in the afternoon, at least until Sat. Darned job! I went last week but didn't have any luck. Came across some good rubs and scrapes, but saw no shooters. Any suggestions? BTW- I hunt the Atlanta tract.

I saw several trucks this afternoon. As of 4pm still nada checked out though. No doubt the crappy weather this morning dampened more than a few spirits. I suspect it will be more crowded towards the weekend.

I plan to go back to an area I hunted during bow season tomorrow and hunt every chance I get thru next Sunday. I know there are lots of females i the area I will be hunting, hopefully one of them may be a late rutting yearling. I also know the area to be pretty much ignored by other hunters so if a big boy is in the vicinity maybe he is hiding where he thinks he is safe.

Heres hoping. ::;

Well the last Dawson Forest Rifle hunt seemed to be decent. Looking at the sheet today it appeared to have been around 8-10 ( I forgot to count ) bucks taken. 2 of them were huge, the 9 point on Wednesday and then a nice wide 8 pointer that was taken sometime today. I was skunked today. First time I have not seen a single deer since back in Archery season.
