Warwoman Wma Bear Hunt 9-26 thru 10-4

[Killer Kyle]

He is a native of Rabun County and he loves the WMA. He has a vested interest in the Warwoman WMA because he grew up on and cut his teeth hunting the WMA. He does the best work anyone could do on a mountain WMA. He manages Warwoman almost 100% by himself, alone, with no help. I know him very, very, very well, and he is one of the best DNR technicians that I have ever met. Spent lots of time with him in the past. Warwoman is a difficult place to hunt because it is extremely rough terrain, but he is trying his best to get the deer numbers up. You guys might not realize it, but he works many, MANY hours off the clock, and unpaid just to keep Warwoman up and running. He really does love the place, and manages it out of his passion for the land and area. He doesn't get paid enough in my personal opinion!

I don't know the guy you are speaking of, but I talked to Al a few months back and he said he had come outta full retirement and helping some part time down there.

Last year, when I called to report a bear I had killed on Chattahoochee, he drove down from Rabun to tag it for me. A week or two later, I killed one on Warwoman. Figuring he'd be interested I text him a pic. Next thing I knew, he showed up and helped with the recovery, on his day off. Im sure there are other great techs out there, but he and Kyle are excellent representatives of the DNR. And good people also.

If only they would do something about all those timber rattlers everywhere. There are a ton! Plus huge monster feral hogs that attack your truck. Not a safe place to hunt if you ask me. Much better off at one of the safer wmas.

 

[Thunder Head]

timber rattlers everywhere,

That's right! Just like Lake Russell. There's to many snakes. People should go somewhere safer

One less this week... he tasted good though.

Call me crazy, but this sounds like how every WMA should be run...
He shouldn't have to work off the clock, but should have the tools AND the attitude to run it like this.

I checked in today all that was on the kill sheet was a 300#Hog.

I use to spend a week away sky valley time share every year. Up to about 3, 4 yrs ago. One afternoon I scouted a little at warwomen. You guys anit kidding about putting on your walking shoes. Not sure but the area I went was straight up or straight down. Is it all like that? After thinking a bit I decided probably not for me. I'd have top pack a frying pan in and eat my game while there. Rough country there. So i went back to sky valley and caught shell crackers off the golf course ponds

Go high and hunt down ! What I was trying to tell somebody up yonder about going high in above walnut fork......in a round about way. But ya need 2 vehicles and come out on Warwoman Rd ! A GPS would help alot as far as helping ya come out near your veh.

I gave it a final go today in the heavy mist and times of rain. Good to see the mountains getting some much needed rain. Staying focused on the south slopes, and that is where the acorns were heavy. Unfortunately, most sign was over 1 week old.
I did see 2 very healthy does on one of the ridges I was on.
I did also run into Ethan and Beth, 2 of the game wardens on patrol up there today. It took some maneuvering of our trucks for me to get by them on the narrow road I was on, but we made it happen with some laughs and good conversation afterwards.
Oh, and only one hog killed as of this morning a couple of days back.

I talk to them as well !! We hung around at Finney Creek for a little while out at Warwoman Rd where you go out to the check station.

Do they go in pairs in case one gets hurt?

 

[akachin1]

Is anyone going back up to Warwoman WMA for the mid-November hunt? If so, any advice. I have never hunted up there before.
