[QUOTE="Rancocas, post: 5334133, member: 2871"] I'm another who roams the Big Frog area quite a bit. Cohutta not so much. Nothing constructive that I can add to what has already been said. I'll be up there tomorrow, turkey hunting. Let me relate an experience I had in the Cohutta some years back. If anyone remembers; there was a guy who killed several hikers along the AT and other trails with a hatchet. I can't remember his name. Anyway, I was hiking in the Cohutta and met a small man along a trail. I noticed he had a hatchet in his hand, but was not carrying any other gear. I had my dog with me (a big dog) plus I openly had a .45 holstered on my hip. As this guy and I approached each other, he stepped off the trail and went around me by several yards. I said something like "good morning", or some such. He only grunted. I continued down the trail another 5 or 6 yards then turned to look back at him. He was standing in the trail looking at me, and had his hatchet half raised up. However, when I looked at him, he quickly turned and went on down the trail. Several weeks later that AT hatchet murderer was caught there in Georgia. I saw his picture in the newspaper. Yes - it was the same guy that I had encountered. Just be careful out there! [/QUOTE]
