[QUOTE="alaska_av8r, post: 4692935, member: 16232"] Wow thanks for the pics, that brought back some memories from when I was able to hunt there in the 80s. Im glad to hear it is still a fantastic place to hunt. I hunted there 4 times and it was two drawhunts back then, one early with gators and snakes and a late hunt. Do they still drive the jeeps pulling trailers for hunters and deer several times a day? I also hunted mostly beachside up northwest, the second year found a place that to access dry you had to go out to the beach, then up the beach then back inland and cross a narrow spit of dry, then you had your own many island about 10 acres. Right in the middle was a live oak I named the hotel, you could walk straight up a limb to the trunk, then step limb to limb to where they all spread and lay down for a nap, priorities ya know, killed lot of deer from that tree. Finally got smart and carried hip boots the third year, went to the hotel and marked a trail straight west back to the road with reflective thumb tacks that took 30 min off the walk. Where it intersected the road I talked one of my more monkey inclined friends to climb out one of those high limbs over the road and we placed three tacks in a line to mark the trail out of view of the jeep headlights, and I would leave the hip boots just off the road, gosh that was fun. Found another buck hole closer to camp as well. Do they still have the huge stuffed rattlesnake in the glass case? They used to say they had a population of appx 130 deer per square mile, same now? I’m envious and miss that place, after all these years not sure I could provide any good info on those locations but would be willing to try if interested, probably changed a lot. Thanks for sharing and stirring up memories. [/QUOTE]
