Taliaferro Roll Call 2012

[Ace1313]

Let's get it going again. We had 4 (2 does, 2 bucks) killed I believe and one big giant missed. Introduced lots of new people to hunting the last several years at the farm and it has been getting better the last several years. Look forward to food plotting and trail cams.

Same here, 1 Doe 3 Buck off our place.
Going to try and change it up a little on our place and put some spring/summer plots for the first time in 4 or 5 years and pray for no more drought.
Will be interested to see if Stumpy survided another year.

[GarrettD]

Well we shot 2, two 9pts one which was a good buck and the other was alittle smaller but it was my brothers 3rd deer so he was happy with it.
Were going to try to get our property burned and start planting some food plots and build some stands during the off season. We saw a good many deer this year, hopefully it will get even better next season.

[j_seph]

I heard Twin Buck shot 4 deer not sure what but no big ones

[Ace1313]

Headed down Friday for a weekend of relaxing. Going to get some cameras out and walk the plots looking for any sheds. I am mainly trying to get the ThunderChickens on cam to see what we have to work with this year.

[jksilverado]

I am heading down Friday afternoon as well. We are going to do some work around camp, Cut some firewood, and check out some cameras.

Welcome to the fire!! I might jump on the mower and do some lane trimming while I can see. More than likely we will just be hanging out and decompressing. I haven't been on the farm since before Christmas I think.

Plan on refreshing my mineral sites this weekend.

I typically use bagged trace mineral.
bagged white salt
Deer Cane
mix a little more comercial stuff in as well. (Record rack) haves some leftover from this past summer. I will also put a Biologic rock on top of the pile and sweeten with molasses.

Been hearing great stuff about Lucky Buck minerals might save a site that has not been getting used as well and dope it up.

Safe weekend to all rolling in down there. Going to be breaking out the deer sausage and steak for the meals. Nothing like it!

Turkey season being around the corner feel free to keep a bird total going for the season. I am interested to see how well the hatch was in this area. I am thinking it was great because of the cicada hatch last year and personal sightings during the summer and fall.

[Ace1313]

I did not hear any turkeys but, did see two hens during the weekend. The wind was brutal all day Saturday.

The plots are still showing good usage and I walked several trails and did not find a shed.

Great Weekend anyway!!

[mbrowland]

Besides the weekend being windy, it still was great. Walked th property, checked cameras and feeders. No sheds found. Had a few yotes on the camera and found some spots where they had a feast on some deer. We need everyone to shoot those yotes , while out huniting. Oh, I have a couple of beavers working on Stevens Creek as well.

[2-shot]

We found one shed this weekend

[Ace1313]

I pulled one camera and had a handful of does and a spike. No sheds yet for me.

[Ace1313]

Have my buddy heading down this weekend with his family. He is going to put out some more feed and pull the card (first timer, hope he does it right) from a camera that should have some birds on it. I also have a couple local guys out listening for birds the next several weeks so we will have an idea of what is going on down there.

[2-shot]

The turkeys were gobbling like crazy about 3 weeks ago

[Ace1313]

Headed down Friday for the weekend. Will try to run and gun my place as well as a couple on the Hancock line as well. Good luck and wear snake chaps if you hot them I am sure they will be crawling with this warm weather.

[Ace1313]

Killed a double opening afternoon. Both two year old birds. Stalked to the edge of a plot I saw a hen going into. I saw the fan couple calls both birds came in to and ate a face full. Not a lot of gobbling only heard two gobbles.

[Ace1313]

Any turkey reports from this past weekend? Be at the farm Thursday night. Going to hunt Friday I have one tag left kinda want to save it for a Cherokee bird but the old saying bird in hand is better than two in the bush will be my motto.

[Ace1313]

Had an awesome hunt on Friday. Heard two gobblers on the roost. Hens where in a tree 75 yards from me they pitched down at my feet ol' gobbler snuck in to 25 yards from me. Only problems was there was a big brush pile between us and he walked off with no shot offered.

[Ace1313]

The birds where getting after it last weekend.

[mountainraider68]

Now that turkey season is over anybody else trying to manage some yotes in Taliaferro?

[Ace1313]

I have never had much luck hunting them in the spring or summer. I will continue to ride with the gun in the truck to eradicate everyone that I can. My brother killed two almost a third one during Novemeber last year.

[Chestnut]

[mountainraider68]

[mountainraider68]

Anyone planted summer food plots yet? If so how are they doing

[Ace1313]

Probably be about two more weeks before I get mine in the ground. Tractor issues and time being the reason. I also like having my sorghum ripe during bow season.

[bufordderrick]

Went down to the club yesterday to do a little work. Today before I came home I ran up on a big rattler. I almost stepped on it. We killed it and on the way out saw another one. They are out! Everybody be careful out there.

[mountainraider68]

I'm heading down this wknd I'll have my 40 with me to deal with those boogers!!! Do they hit that sorghum pretty hard I had I summer mix with that stuff in it?

[Ace1313]

I planted it a couple of years ago it ripened during the week and the deer cleaned it out. I like it for cover as well as the deer feel safe walking out before dark. Seen 11 deer a gobbler and covey of quail the last day down there. Will be back next week once my parts come in to mow and plow.

[Ace1313]

Just spent several days mowing at the farm. Saw several deer, turkeys, and quail. It is getting dry down there hopefully it will rain soon planning to plant soon.

[Ace1313]

Saw six deer last night while finishing mowing. Also Stumpy is back!! I will load some pictures soon.

[mountainraider68]

Yeah lets see those pics of him! planted 2 acres of soybean and IC peas. Just praying for rain at this point

[Ace1313]

Here he is.

[mountainraider68]

Gha hes gonna be a HOSS for sure. He has that mass on him to

[Ace1313]

He has 6-8 more weeks to grow!

[mountainraider68]

hes gonna be nasty for sure!

[mountainraider68]

Had a few apples left over from the trees at the house and decided to throw them out at the club. Had deer eating em up on trail cam but we had a nasty guest. A hog came by to eat apples first time seeing them any where near my club any one else seeing them around?

[koyote76]

i have alot of family land in taliaferro/wilkes and im there all the time. we have always had hogs since the 80s. i hunt them with my dogs all over the state of ga. so if any of yall want to get the hogs off your property or just have a good time with dogs, just let me know.

pm for my contact information, im hunting every week somewhere in the state.

[Ace1313]

Look at the newest pictures I put up in trail cam a couple of new guys.

[2-shot]

Those are some nice bucks. The club I'm in off hwy 44 is covered in hogs. I mainly joined it to run my hog dogs but now I'm curious if we have any nice bucks on the club

[Ace1313]

Only have seen two hogs on my place. One my brother shot with a bow we never recovered and one on camera a couple years ago.

[mbrowland]

I have about 4 at my place. We got about a 350lb running the creek bed. Ace he might be running between us.....

[mbrowland]

Here are some pics of the hugs running up and down the creek bed!

[Jeff Phillips]

Heading to camp tomorrow. Have to go see what the thieves have done to the place

[Ace1313]

That is a huge hog. Jeff, you guys get broke into? I am moving back from NC this weekend so I won't get out there until next weekend. Going to plow a little when I get there if the soil has moisture in it.

[Jeff Phillips]

I have been told that someone yanked all of the wiring out of the campers and trailers, just generally tore stuff up.

I will advise after my visit.

[mbrowland]

That hog is big we just another picture of another big hog. My buddy is down there this weekend I
End and I will head down next weekend . Hopes to then out the bacon. Ace let's try to meet up.

[Ace1313]

Sounds good. I will let you know for sure when I will be down. I am getting fired up about this season. Couple nice deer on the farm and some great deer seen on my lease.

[mbrowland]

Yes, I am counting the days for bow season too. We have been seeing a big improvement on the population this year. Especially, since we started an aggressive campaign against yotes and cats and other varmint. I will send you a message ace.

[mbrowland]
