[QUOTE="PickettSFHunter, post: 5217883, member: 2171"] I realized I haven’t shared about an annual barrier island trip in awhile. I returned recently from a Georgia barrier island quota hunt that I have been going on for about 6 years now. I really enjoy these hunts, the GA DNR just does such a good job. My group ended up staying 6 days for a 3 day hunt. You ride a DNR ferry over and a DNR truck or a Gullah sponsor rides you up to a isolated oak hammock to camp. The DNR provides a bathhouse and a walk in cooler. The bad: bugs and eastern diamondbacks were worse than normal this year, it was crazy. This turns away a lot of people or causes them to leave early. This is a deer hunt, you are encouraged to shoot deer, not trophy hunt. There really aren’t large bucks anyway, 70 pounds is considered a big deer. This year, I shot the first one I saw and then hunted for a island “giant”. I did see one of those giants, a 80” 8 point but could only see its antlers above the palmettos. The level of thickness is hard to comprehend without experiencing it. I try to get 30-40’ high to able to see some holes or shoot firebreaks. Our group of 5 hunters ended up with 5 deer and 3 hogs. Can’t wait to go again in December and next October! [/QUOTE]
