[QUOTE="bowriter, post: 3759323, member: 1518"] I started hunting C in the late 70's and hunted it a lot in the early 80's. I often camped there for entire nine day bow hunt. I scouted it hard and made friends with Sam, the manager before Randy and he tipped me to a lot of places. In short, I knew it well. I had many stand sites and most were productive. Some were on pieces of land few people knew were on the area. During this period, there were no food plots. It was all hardwoods and to be successful, you had to know what you were doing. I found one spot that was a small bottom loaded with nothing but white oak and persimmon trees. Sign showed the deer were wearing it out. I stumbled on it blood trailing a deer but I never hunted it for one reason. It was at the bottom of three steep ridges and a river was on the fourth side. No way I was packing a deer up one of those ridges. Most of the deer I killed, fell within easy dragging distance of the road. One day, from the Magic Tree, I killed a deer at 7:30, one of my partners killed one at 2:20 and another killed one at 4:30-from the same tree. On another day, I rattled in a nice 11-point for one of my hunters. As we were admiring his buck, a dandy eight-point walked by at 60-yards and I killed it. 9It was a gun hunt.) But that was years ago, back when I scouted hard and hunted hard. Today, I just play around here at the house. But I sure have some fond memories of hunts there...and the ticks. [/QUOTE]
