Ok ya'll after much hemmin & haw'in...

I am on vacation this week, got some meat for the freezer last day of muzzle stuffer...

bullrider has got me fired up to head to the mountains...

So fired up I took a pass on a trophy Armadilla!

Lets hook up at the shut down BP station outside of Helen around Noon to 1:00 PM on Friday...

Dana Young, give me a call (you have a PM) if you are available come join us, we will be hunting the highest point in the state of Georgia!

I am gonna bring my Brother-in-laws Pop up, sleeps 3; bring your ear plugs... Momma says I snore, but it don't bother me none!

PM me if you can make it, I'll send you my Cell #.

I am hunting my club all day today, but plan on heading to the house this evening for some Momma time, then headedback to camp Monday afternoon (Dental Appointment - YUK).

Now I gotta decide - 444 Marlin or 300 Win Mag Browning?

Yee Haaaaaaa!

Marlin, if you locate the land off of the wma on Highway 75 between Helen and the top of the mountain you can have some good luck at a bear. getting up the side of the mountain is a little on the tough side but if you do harvest a bear just get it started down hill and i promise it will outrun you. Good luck

Bullrider, this weekend Swallow Creek is open for bear and I'll be there. I'm hunting Fri evening through Sunday evening but I do have to leave Sat for a bit for a basketball game, hopefully it is in the middle of the day.

Anyone know what the bears are up to these days...food sources, elevation..? Heard some reports that they are still looking for those white oaks in the higher elevations and also heard that the drought has depleted their food sources and forced them down the mountains and toward the towns. Any clues.....? Also, we're going up to Cohutta WMA this weekend for the first time....any suggestions on where to start looking?
