No antlerless tag for me either once again. Oh well. I put in about 120 miles of driving and 4 miles of walking today. I found a couple deer. I've been hunting the east side for the last 3 years and decided I needed a change of scenery so I went for a Drive. I did see many more people today than I have in the previous 3 years put together. Maybe the areas I went to are just popular. Good luck to everyone I'm hoping this thread will pick up a little, it's been pretty mild the last few seasons.

I’ve had the worst luck pulling an antlerless tag at SHNF. Nada again this year.
I typically see lots of does pre-season and in archery (always out of range) and then ONLY does during rifle. but the one year I drew the antlerless tag I couldn’t find a single one!

I've been gone for 5 years, but I remember the get togethers and the opening morning lunch. And of course a little smack talk.

One time I shot a nice buck and the doe it was following. That was no fun bringing both out, making two 7 mile round trips. I swore I would never do that again.

Asked this question last year and didn’t get much response from green screen or from emails with park rangers.
I found a couple trails with blue aluminum circles nailed into trees every 20-30 yards. Walked about half a mile along both trails and markers were still there. Couldn’t find them listed on any map though. Any idea what trail system that might be? Found a few promising spots in same area as trails but since I had no idea where trails went was concerned about 150 yard rule near roads and trails.

Originally posted by E.TX.BOWHUNTER View PostI don't think those are trails. I could be wrong on that. It maybe tracts to be thinned or sold. Did you see any papers or placards posted in the area? Were these in areas of pines that were of the same size and fairly thick? Do you think they could have just been fire breaks? These are on borders and around younger pine stands. I find fire breaks often circle the planted pine stands. How high were they? Did they have anything other than just being blue? Any numbers or such?

I’ve never hunted SHNF, but I’m thinking out going out there and doing some scouting and maybe doing some weekend hunts. Couple of questions, can you camp in the designated areas during hunting season? Which would be most effective, a climber, sticks and a lock on, or a pop up? Thanks
