I decided it was time to stop reading and researching and just go for it.
I spent two days hunting Chattahoochee WMA, I drove in Chattahoochee River Rd by Unicoi Gap, then drove a couple of miles down Martin Branch Rd and camped in that area.
I spent a lot of time hiking, I hiked all the way across to the Chattahoochee River and then back along Turkey Pen Branch and all over in between. I tried to keep the wind in my face whenever I could, I did not see any bears but did see 2 does and plenty of squirrels.
I didn't really know what I was looking for, but I do know I saw one bear track. I also found a deer carcass, and quite a few trees that looked like maybe a bear had torn them up.
A few various areas on the ground looked to be torn up, but I am not sure if that was hogs or bear.
I am planning to head back here for the November dates and try the same thing again. I figure if I spend enough time hiking eventually I will find a bear.
I know I am a newbie and don't want to come across as begging for free research/scouting info, but any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
