First Hunt. Where was yours?

[Poleaxe]

Just wondering where everyone went on their first hunt? Doesnt matter if the place doesnt exsist anymore. Us younger men wont poke at you.

I went to Cumberland Springs on my first hunt. I miss that place and those campouts. I have so many memorids there.

 

[GRAMPS]

My first deer hunt was in the old Laurel Fork WMA in Carter County which is now part of the North Cherokee. That was way back in 1970.

 

[Diehard Hunter]

My first hunt was on private property in Cumberland county, but I hunted Cumberland Springs a lot. It was just about a guaranteed deer. I miss it too.
