[QUOTE="mountain chiro, post: 5576135, member: 23256"] We didn't even cut a track! Got out there really early in station camp creek. We sat in an area that looked good on the map but didn't see anything come through. We ended up walking over 9 miles cutting through several drainages west from charit creek. Didn't find any hog sign but definitely did not expect to find as much human sign as we did. Perks of going in an area the first time. Long story short we ran into a park ranger on our long walk back on the gravel road. He pressed us pretty hard and asked why we chose here to hunt. Told him we didn't really know the area and just knew there were hogs up here since there was a season. He basically told us that it's almost impossible to hunt them and that a biologist basically baits, traps, and kills them all from helicopters and keeps them in very isolated pockets. Never heard about hogs being so isolated or killed from helicopters in TN but oh well. It began to sound like he wasn't really a fan of us hunting there. He actually gave us a warning for using FMJ and hunting from the road because we still had mags in our rifles (thought it was pretty ridiculous although I'm happy it was just a warning. We were spent and just rucking back to the truck. Also didn't realize you couldn't use FMJ for hogs since they're a nuisance but knew that you can't for deer). He even tried to cite us for having more than 6 rounds in an AR mag, but thankfully he realized that was legal. We tried finding some different ammo but every store that might've had some was closed so we just ended up calling it. All in all it was a pretty good hike in some awesome country lol did find some decent deer sign but it's pretty sparse. Definitely know to look in other areas up there next time if we want to get on hogs! [/QUOTE]
