Looking at all these trees, had a bear at camp take an office chair half way out of a box stand this week and just completely tear it to shreads. He did that chair like my dog does a pair of leather shoes lol.
Made a quick lap this morning,started at the corn field that the bears are smoking every night. Then up the mountain where they are starting to climb some trees for acorns. A lot of yellow jacket nest been dug up. Found a few white oaks dropping with deer feeding on them. Good bit of hog rotten and wallowing along the creek. One of the bears in the corn field has a track round as a horse. Dang it was HOT.......
Any more hogs spotted in the mountains? Killer Kyle?
Is anyone familiar with hunting Swallow Creek WMA? This will be my fifth year going and I still have not brought home a bear. Am I even hunting a good location for bears?
Swallow Creek is the e exact same as Chattahoochee for bear, only 70% fewer hunters. What is your hunting strategy?
Just left mom's house in Highlands NC, landscapers said they've seen more bear this year than any other.Go to deer hunt instead of bear. That's when you will see a bear! Bumped into some guys with dogs on the ga/nc line a few weeks ago and said they seen more bear this year than ever this year. This would be in the southern nantahala woods. They are there in big numbers.
Kyle, you inspire me. I started a hunting journal this year to track sightings and to help myself learn more about the animals (and the land). I've got a couple of those "Rite in the Rain" waterproof pads to keep in my pack. Looking forward to using them this season.
X10. Swallow Creek is the most under rated and under hunted bear factory in GA. And the fact that it has so many fewer hunters makes it that much sweeter. Me and Killer Kyle will just keep it to ourselves! Another great bear producer is the southern nantahala wilderness. Makes Cohutta look like the JV mountains. But the bears are stacked in there for sure.
