Well, we finally closed on a 30 acre parcel that will serve as my primary stomping grounds for deer and turkey and the occasional hog as there does not seem to be that many in this part of GA.
I scouted the property lines that were just marked by the surveyor and found a few nice areas I hadn’t seen upon initial inspection as the property surveyed out a few acres larger than originally thought.
It is a mix of 20 year old planted pine and older mixed hardwoods. There are a few high clear areas and some lower thicker underbrush areas as well as swale type terrain in the lowest spots. Good mix.
Some nice lowland areas where water collects during wetter times was a happy bonus. A 2 acre clearing filled with wild blackberries was making me smile. Saw a few tracks and a few old rubs.
Put up a trail cam so we will see what is out there. There is thick 5 year old planted pine on the parcel to the south that should provide good bedding areas. I should be able to get at least a half ways decent food plot down in the clearing to compliment the blackberries.
It was the last day of small game season and I managed to jump a rabbit but was probably not going to shoot even if I could have gotten one. I had my “ranch rifle” with me. Remington 597 Magnum in 22 WMR. Mainly if I got into a mess of small game but also if I could get a shot at a hog.
