Update: I talked to City Councilman Chris Davis and agreed to set down with GHFF, DNR and the council to fix the LaFayette Bow Hunting ordinance.

Here's a Walker County oddity....This is an OLD spike

Regarding the hard hat, it's absolutely unbelievable how many acorns are on the ground. It's like just after a hail storm except with acorns.

If you ever get that spike check his teeth. I got a doe a couple years ago whose teeth were worn flush and below the gums and a buck last year that were about 3/16" from it.

All I'm seeing in the Chattahochee around Armuchie is Mountain Oak acorns. I scouted an area today, had a pretty decent size buck run within 100 yards of me. To much brush to get an anlter count

I've been told they're mountain oaks. The places around Armuchie that I've been scouting, they're everywhere.

XCrazy morning

Just after 1st light had a Turkey spook across the creek and fly across 10' in front of me and land in a tree 20 yards to my left. After listening to him cluck for 20 minutes I stood up and he spooked again going up the ridge....Then I had a Bobcat come by and just fast enough to not get a shot..... 10 minutes later another (smaller) Bobcat came by just behind my stand and too fast to shoot.... On the way out there were loads of turkey feathers everywhere....Guess it's time for some Bobcat hunting.....

Still acorns EVERYWHERE...................

Its hard to say in that pic. I want to say 3.5. It would be hard for me to let him walk in Walker County. He's pushing it close to the Pope and Young min too.
