Dt, everybody's got there own goals for hunting. U stick to shooting whatever u want and everybody else will stick to shooting what they want. I hunt sign. When the sign maker comes through he dies. Be it a 2.5 or 7.5. That's just me. Never criticize another man's deer.

He was 19" outside. Joey killed that deer over a scrape line on a bitterly cold evening in December of 2009. We had no prior knowledge of this deer (sightings or pics), he just showed up in Mid Dec. making car hood sized scrapes on a roadbed out a ridge top in Gilmer County. Thanks for the question.

Dang Kris!! Tell Joey congrats on that one! That is a stud for Gilmer...very impressive. And I always enjoy how you tell it happened. I like to know that eventually a buck that WILL make a carhood sized scrape can actually show up during daylight hours. Good stuff man... good stuff! Can't wait for more....

DT, do you have some kill pics to go with those racks? As WF suggested, please start a thread and post them up.Whitetail freak, very nice deer - it has been years 20+ since I have hunted in the mountains (cohutta) and any deer is an accomplishment in that area. I have lived and hunted in numerous states and public land mountain deer are among the toughest to hunt. They are difficult to hunt physically due to the terrain and difficult to hunt mentally due to the low density numbers and other hunters. Congrats and thank you for sharing; seeing your pics always brings back fond memories.

Good deal. Keep them coming. Deer season is just around the corner!
Have you made it home yet?

Very nice, I hope move up that way in a few years. I have family in Ringgold, Ga; that's where I'm heading to spend my retirement. Hunting and r&r is what I have in mind.
Even with some of the negative hoo-haw, this is one of the most enjoyable threads on the forum. I read quite a bit on how few and far between mountain bucks are, and how difficult the terrain is. Yet you guys are doing a bang up job staying on top of the game up there. Hats off to you and keep posting pictures !!

Thanks for the kind comment. We'll hunt these mountains as long as the Good Lord allows. As far as the negative comments, they were made by one kid who at the time had been on the forum less than a week. I take it with a grain of salt. Im glad you enjoy the pics.
