Who is hunting in Elbert Co. this year?

[creekbender]

I'll be there for sure .

[BAMBIDEER]

ill be here,hunted here for over 25 years

[hunt6x6elk1]

I will, persimmons and muscadines are loaded down and the t'storm last week blew down limbs loaded with acorns from the red oaks, don't know about the white ones but bet with the rains and the mild last winter that they will do well also.

[Chattooga River Hunter]

I am hunting in Elbert for the first time this season. I've found the white oak stands in the lease, and looking forward to bow season!

[tcward]

Saw a ton of red oak acorns on the ground yesterday. They were green. I guess wind from storms have blown them on the ground.

[jbemory]

I'll be there! Can't wait for the season to open. This will be my sixth year hunting in Elbert Co. Persimons are heavy with fruit, white oaks look thick too. Nothing hitting the ground yet.

Lord, I am getting old. We killed lots of deer, some nice bucks and had lots of fun up there. Both my sons killed their first deer in Elbert and since have harvested many more, including some nice ones. See my Avatar, that is my 12 year olds first buck and it was a good one. Now gracing his bedroom wall.

Lived here for 55 years and have hunted here almost that long. I'll poke around in the woods some here.

Got some good rain after we planted oats last Saturday! Hope that brings em' up!

[PappyHoel]

Killed my first deer in Elbert county, late 80's. We used to be on a club right on lake Russell. If I remember correctly it was about 550 acres. I remember seeing lots of deer.

[Buford_Dawg]

I have seen 2 does in 4 sittings. My 2 buddies have seen 0 deer also in 4 sittings each. Very few deer tracks. Lots of coyote tracks

[GAGE]

0 kills, and a combined 10 deer for 10 sits.

[creekbender]

I have saw 3 out of the stand so far in 7 sittings. But i can come home after the game Saturday night and there are 2 bucks 20ft from the side of my house . Crazy .

[Buford_Dawg]

We didnt see anything up there on Saturday except turkeys and a coyote, which bite the dust.

First deer of the season taken yesterday for our club. A nice ML doe, and a spike (9 y/o daughters first deer)

[tcward]

What kind of scrape activity you guys seeing? I saw a couple Saturday but they were small.

[Chattooga River Hunter]

I haven't seen any scrapes yet, but have seen a few rubbed trees, won't be long!
