    A lot of assumptions made in this post. The photo clearly shows two of the three hunters holding GPS handheld units. The hunters will try to remain in contact with their hounds until the bear has...

    No doubt man has and will continue to impact the mountain landscape, but we have also made great strides in protecting it, but no need to debate that fact in this thread. However, your forest...

    Before and After

    I spend a lot of time hunting wild hogs between Blood Mountain and Low Gap shelter along the AT. They are an invasive species and are very destructive to the ecosystem, severely impacting native...

    I am 6’ 5” side sleeper and the War Bonnett Ridge Runner Bridge Hammock works great for me. The spreader bars make it a little heavier than a typical gathered end hammock, but the great nights sleep...

    I frequently use the AT in North GA to access Chattahoochee NF for hunting bear, deer, and wild hog. Most of the bear hunters I know not only eat bear meat, but prefer it to venison. A bears diet...

    Good suggestions! My pack will be with me while I am hunting as it also doubles as a meat pack since dragging a large critter out of those hills solo is out of the question. I won,t be leaving a...

    Great perspective JustBill. I do a ton of hunting, but only a handful of nights each year in my Warbonnet Bridge hammock. Way to many years of football in my younger days and now I am definitely...
