Default First Cohutta Bear

This is my first bear. Not sure what it weights but guesstimated 150 lbs. Only bear we saw all weekend out of three of us.

Thank y'all. Im proud of it. Apparently the bears are spread out a little more this year bc there were only 5 checked in when I checked mine in Sunday morning. Lots of red oaks dropping like crazy. Best advice I can give is pack alot of luck. Thanks again.

Did you shoot him from a tree or off the ground?

Deadend, they have been elusive indeed! I've gotten skunked on my last four hunts. I find relatively recent sign, and no bears. Seems like the bears are always a step ahead.

I was up there last weekend. Two bears had been signed out as of last Saturday. Bear sign is scattered, I haven't figured out any sort of pattern yet. Hunt above 2,800 for white oaks. Not many producing much lower. Pop-up campers are ok. I believe ATV's are prohibited. Someone on here may want to confirm.

I saw a few 4 wheelers last weekend and quite a few pop ups. Didn't find one white oak dropping where we were at.

To clarify monster, I was hunting Chattahoochee WMA, KERCE was hunting Cohutta. You still might want to seek clarification on the 4 wheelers.
