I like to go out oak st.......and pine thickets are a magnet in the winter. Look for pine needle beds etc....Not looking for GPS location, but where abouts is your camera? (North,South,Southeast,.....)
Still trying to narrow down which area I want to attack this weekend.
Where’d you go in?Went out this past Saturday, didn't see any pigs but there was a lot of snow. Saw some tracks before the snow covered them but that's all the sign I saw. Clocked 9 miles of hiking in total for the day.
was the gate open? I love the North end!I went in from E. Valley Rd., the wind was not good for coming in from the south. I also checked the large dove field behind Toyo around noon but nothing there either. Probably won't make it back up there until later in the month, plan on hitting a few spots I haven't checked yet if the wind is good.
All four gates I passed on the north end were closed, Oak St. gates are open.was the gate open? I love the North end!
Johns has hogs.
There’s a lot of sign!
Seriously JD?!? Son you just opened up a can.......I LOVE Johns mtn, but have only done a small amount of scouting as we usually are there for the range. I hope you don’t mind me going afterYOUR pig.....I just might. Got 2 more weeks and I been meaning to shoot the .308 again anyway.
I was in there yesterday. Went in off of East Valley and was deep in some thickets in the Sugar Hill creek area. I didn't see any sign at all of hogs. But I have seen some wallows previously, much further south of there. And yesterday I ran into a guy there that said he has seen 2 bears in there up on the ridges, oddly enough...around Bear Mountain. And he had talked with another guy who claims to have seen a cat that was about 4' long, with a long tail. I believe him about the bears, and would not be too surprised if the the big cat story were true.
Gawd, I love the Pinelog woods. Lots of old history in them, true mountains, and beautiful creeks. It's like you are in far north GA, instead of the outskirts of metro Atlanta.
