Me and my bro use to hunt Bumpas Cove a lot. He has hunted there a little this year, but not seen too much.
By they Pine Thicket on 107, you talking about the old Jackson Farm in the Jackson Island, Jackson Bridge area? I hunted there 20 years ago, but not lately.

yeah thats the pine thicket. i have been there 3 times in the last 2 weeks and walked from there all the way to the back and at the very back when u look straight down you are right above the landfill in bumpass cove. i have jumped a deer 2 of the 3 times i walked it and it was in the same holler both times.once u get on top of the mountain on the 107 side the rest is easy walking but its pure hell to get over that first one though!
