Catoosa

[cagsoldr]

Is anybody else planning on hunting Catoosa this weekend? I haven't been up there since last year when I hunted the gun quota hunt. Had two does and a little nub head walk within 10 yards of me and I was sitting on the ground! I'm hoping to go back tomorrow and scout it a bit and see if I cant get back to that same spot. I just wondered how much more logging has been done up there. i was sitting about 75 yards away from a large fresh clear cut and those three were heading towards it.

I've went to catoosa at some point during hunting season every year since I can remember. Never was a fan, were making the longer trip to LBL in a week or so always had much better luck there.

Was up there Sat to squirrel hunt on bicolor side and i can honestly say i had to hunt to find timber big enough for squirrels. The timber i did find is marked off to be cut. Did not see a deer all day so i'm out.

You can have it!

Rifle hunt? I'm confused Carlos.

 

[cagsoldr]

Well, there probably won't be anybody wearin orange up there on this hunt. You really just have to scout hard and go to really hard to travel spots to get away from everybody else. It definitely get busy! Shouldn't be as many on an archery hunt.

 

[mimitk]

It does get packed on the archery hunt

Last time up there (last yr) I saw more hog and hunter sign than deer sign.

 

[khawk]

Put out a camera a week ago around a cluster of oaks...plenty of sign where I was at. Plenty of acorns though. Because og weather, Im not heading down till Wednesday. Should be good movement after the front moves through.

Any news from the Catoosa Archery Hunt? Any big bucks killed or deer and hog kill info in general?

 

[Trevor2]

Cousin just came home from genesis side and between his whole group they seen 2 deer

 

[RAFI]

[ljhhunt3]

22 deer out of 65,000 hunters lol not real good stats!!

 

[RutnStrut]

Thanks for the update. Was planning on heading up there Thursday to hunt a couple days, but now leaning toward staying close to home and hunting AEDC.

If it's as windy there as it has been here the last 2 days I bet the deer can't stand up long enough to move before they get blown back over.

I love the area, just not many deer.
