Whats the score at cohutta?

[Christian hughey]

Any body know what's been brought in yet. Seems awful slow. Havnt heard but one shot the whole hunt.. Cohutta whooped me this year. I shot a coyote and run over a skunk, so literally got skunked.. I feel that I was a little late getting in on the action this year. I saw some pics of real nice bucks that come off cnf last month. My mountain top had a few sparse acorns that were still bringing a couple does and I heard 1 hog but he never come into view, absolutely no bear sign. It's always a surprise to see deer in the mountains with all the terrain they have to navigate. I was very surprised on this hunt not to see anything trailing either of them. Better luck next year.

I saw very little bear sign, which surprised me as warm as it was. I think they have the hunt a week early. The deer should get to chasing sometime next week.

Don't know but I heard a couple shots and saw alittle buck sign. No bear sign where I was at. Probably going to hunt alittle lower tomorrow

Heard 2 shots Thursday and 2 Friday. Found a little deer and hog sign. Hardly any bear sign. Don’t think there as many bear as there used to be on the Blue Ridge side.

16 bucks, 8 bear,2 hogs on the Cisco side Holly creek side 5 bucks

This guy messed up at 10:30 on Friday morning, y'all are right, warm weather made it tough. But it turned into a day I will never forget. It will be very difficult for me to ever find a buck this special again. Old mountain warrior!!

That is a mature mountain monster. Congratulations. Do we get the story?

He was a beast! Got my heart thumpin' for the rest of the day...sore for a while, that's for sure, lots of advil and hauling meat around for the day trying to get him situated.

hunting in a stand? On the ground? On a ridge? Did you call him in? How far in were you? Did you pack him out? All us that struck out really want to know.

Story on this old beast was 3 long days, lots of miles, hot, dry, and really pretty uneventful until this son of a gun came through a gap directly behind me rather quietly...he was just cruising. I had been performing a long series of loud grunt calls, took 1 neck shot and 2 to the chest to bring him down with the 270. He got up twice on me, the last 2 shots were at 5 yards. It was a battle, he was 6.5 yrs old...very, very proud to be blessed with him

Is he the only deer you saw?

 

[cliffdweller]

I always hunt out of the millennium seat, just log lots and lots of hours, miles, memories, try to think like a buck...it can be frustrating at times when you know they are there but they just won't move

 

[cliffdweller]

Yes he was it, no other deer seen unfortunately. I usually don't see many deer though, pretty normal. I have hunted cohutta my whole life and one thing is certain...there are some daggum hammers in there and that's why I love it so much. I just love big, giant bucks. Cohutta has got em, it's on us to take care of this blessed wilderness

this is the truth. They are there but don’t cooperate with our plans.
