Went to check out a new WMA the other day. Its 7,000+ acres on the Altamaha River about half way between Marty Thompson "Apex Predator" and My hunting grounds....I recon we`ll have to share this one.lol.
 On the way in...


Promising name for sure. Never have set foot on the place and was more interested in covering ground than hunting so I grabbed a map out of the box and took off. I was on one logging road for near ten miles. I made a bearing through a fairly big swamp and saw scattered old pig sign but nothing smoking. Beautiful place for sure...






The green stuff in the last pic was small water oak trees. Continued on through the swamp to a beautiful oxbow I don`t know the name of...



Then on to the River. Its a lot darker water here than at home. The tide effects this far down and the creeks running in are all black water creeks...

Looks like a cool place RC! I am sure we will be seeing some pictures of you and some deceased critters coming out of that place soon!!!

Found some sign of other hunters...



And a fine low swamp that was good looking for pork and had a good bit of pig sign in it. since I tore my calf a couple years ago I can`t take the calf deep mud bogging so I declined the temptation of going in even though I saw a pig cross the road headed in.



One heck of a swamp persimmon tree...



started down this dead in walking road and spotted two does. They had no idea I was there when I first saw them.




 Now something cool...
 Hunting deer the way I do mostly consist of covering a bunch of ground till I find something hot and sitting on it. A feed tree is HOT. This is what it looks like under a feed tree in a Southern Swamp. This sign is near three months old. A place I`ll keep in mind for sure next year.





Not just a handfull but a treefull of crunched up acorns.




Notice the bare dirt under this tree. Hogs and deer both. If a fella had sat here when it was hot he would have got a shot or many shots if he stayed with it.RC

Cool stuff, RC!  Must be nice to have year round hunting!  Looks like a promising spot!

Very cool  

Looks like a great hunting area!  Nice pictures!

That looks like a killer area, and I'm sure it will be...

Forgot the excitement of the day...

Looks like another fine day in the swamp, thanks for showin' us around.

Oh Yea....SNAAAAKE

Man, I gotta spend some time in South GA in 2012. Anyone know a good guide, someone familiar with the area???      

Those suckers are out already???  After this week I am ready to scout.  Guess I'll be changing into my snake boots early.

Looks like a good looking place for being so small of a place.  Good luck next year RC!

Great pics, as usual, RC.  If I know you, you'll help them control the hog population there.

Those suckers are out already???  After this week I am ready to scout.  Guess I'll be changing into my snake boots early.  I bought a Timbertall Brute Lite today and my hunting party bought 12 stands this week.  I love getting ready for next year as much as I like hunting this year.

Looks like a good looking place for being so small of a place.  Good luck next year RC!

The Mohawk cometh, and woe be to the deer there!

looks like a good walk. 7000 acres  :eek:  looks like you have some more scouting to do

Looking good, nice lay of the land. Thanks for the pics. You should have a great season coming up. Good Luck

exploring new ground is always fun, especially when it looks as good as that.

dead critters will follow for sure

Looks like a nice place!!!

RC thanks for the tour, great pics as always!

I love it when you take a walk  :D  
Cool pics as always!
