Hey marlin me as well. Im brand new to the site but not to CNF. I'll be up there around 11 Sat morning just to walk around a few ridge lines and try to get a couple spots in mind for this coming year, only 8 months away lol.

 

[Marlin_444]

Good deal Joe - Lots of great spots around CNF !!

See yah there sometime !!

WOO HOO!!

I think this year I'm gonna go with my recurve for bow opener.

All the times I've been up there bowhunting I've had two bears in range. Both too small. Both inside 20 yards. I'm a little rusty, but with a decent amount of practice in the offseason, I should be good to go for 20yrds. Just gotta hope I can get something a little bit bigger in range.

 

[Marlin_444]

Good idea Joe... My X-box is a bit heavy and good for a stand hunting but I need to lighten up for stalk hunting...

What is the poundage on your bow ??

 

[pnome]

55lbs @28"

Cold morning with some Hot Coffee !!

Thanks Doug !!

We have a 3rd rut underway here; saw a few but no shooters...

Will be out for the last 7 days of the season 25th - 31st...

Mr. Big is still out there !!

Hi when do y'all plan on scouting for turkey? I'm new to turkey and it was suggested that I tag along.

 

[pnome]

Usually do some scouting Friday afternoon before opening day. For turkey anyway.

We've been up there a lot, so we know some good spots to check out.

 

[DirtyBird]

Awesome. I'll keep checking in for updates.

Aight folks; so I ran into some extra pesos - told Momma that I was gonna get a new gun at X $'s... She gumbled... Tooled around a 460 or 500 S&W at $1k... Then said... Think I'll just re-up at the club and get another Out of State GA hunting license... She thought that was a better idea...

WOO HOO... It's good to let her be the Queen !!

Looking forward to Turkey Opener - - When is that again ??

Off to Deer Hunt this weekend from 1/25 to 1/31...

I am as exited about the last 7 days of this season as I am about the upcoming first 7 days of the new one coming !!

See y'all in the woods on the mountain soon !!

I'll be planning a trip to Atlanta soon so we'll do a get together at Taco Mac if you can make it, the first one as usual will be on me !!

Hey All !! I got into the stand just before first light this AM... Fired up my Mr. Heater Buddy; had a cup of coffee and at first light this butterball Nanny stepped out and "Ol'Boy" (My '70 444) slung a .240 Grain Remington Corelockt which found purchase... 11 more hunts this week... Looking for some horns now !!

Nice! Congrats Ron!

 

[Marlin_444]

Thanks Joe - she'll become some smoked, italian and summer sausage; as well as cubed and ground !!

Headed back in yesterday afternoon but wind was swirlin; I am down to only three (3) stands on the club that I have not hunted...

I'll hit another this afternoon; one of my club buddy's spotted a biggun there but he will not be back before season end...

Since I've not been there, it'll be an evening hunt !!
