St Jude Cohutta Bear Hunt 2011

(1/3) > >>

Terry Green:
Here's the Motley Crew....

     

Karl, Me, Keith, and Doug....

Karl won the hunt, and got to see SEVEN bears that weekend.  I have never seen the like of bear sign in my life as I did that weekend.

I got a great stalk on a 250#er that came off a steep bank and went 10 yards past a tree I'd leaned up against for 10 minutes....wish I would have waited another 3 minutes and this guy would have been in my lap.  

It was a really cool scene let me tell ya...it was misty that morning, like you may have seen in one of my favorite hunting pics of all time which was a misty morn at Cohutta....and the terrain was ferns and patchy briers.  What made this scene so unique is that I could not see the bears legs at all for the 1st 30 yards I saw him traveling downhill....he looked like he was standing on a sled and gliding down the mountain in slow motion.

Anyhow, I put a sneak on him and stayed around 35-40 yard for a while just trying to get close being careful not to make any noise due to it being so dry this year. Well, I couldn't see underfoot very well, and I finally stepped on a nickle sized stick and man what a snap it made....and the jig was up.  But it sure was fun while it lasted.

Karl, again, the St Jude winner had a close encounter with a 300 #er but it didn't work out.

We all had a blast and ate great.....too bad the season ended and I never got time to go back. I just didn't get my 'Cohutta Fix' this year at all. Long wait till next year.  

Here's a couple more pics ....

     

     

     

Just wanted to put up a post so folks would know the hunt took place and it was yet another great St Judes Adventure.     :campfire:

Looper:
Beautiful country. It looks just like my stomping grounds, 100 miles east of you.

leatherneck:
Looks like a great hunt!

Hey Terry,do they give out those shirts when you buy your license in ge-orgia?lol

Might have to bid on this one in the future.

A fine looking crew and what sounds like a fun hunt.

Good to see Keith again!

Terry Green:
No Mike.....that's my 'standard issue uniform' no matter what state I'm in.

Like I said...all of use thought a bear was hiding behind every tree there was so much sign....not sure how we didn't bring home a bruin.    :dunno:
