GCART81 OP spike Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 93 Alabama	Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. My family and I just moved to Cherokee country last year from Georgia. After being here for only a year, I wished we had made the move years ago - we absolutely love the people and the land. Since I'm back to my roots, I decided get back into deer hunting last season (haven't been hunting since I was a teenager). I was somewhat successful in harvesting two last season, but was hoping to get four to offset the grocery bill. I was considering trying to hunt Skyline this season. I have read some of the older post on this WMA, but was wondering if anyone has any advise for a newbie. I'm in good health/shape and don't mind hiking for hours to get to a good spot; I also don't mind pack-in/out for a few days. I'm going to try to scout the area, but since its a huge area I would appreciate any help/tips on where to start. G

I hunt between Auburn and Columbus, Ga. You can also do a search on here for Skyline that has been discussed over the years. Again welcome aboard and don't take a lot of the crap coming your way too seriously. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

When I worked with the cable company years ago we serviced sand rock and Leesburg. Weiss lake had some beautiful home sites Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Lots of small clubs with deer and turkey. Shoot me a PM on anything you need to know? It's not a Passion, it's an Obsession. That's what I tell my wife, but she promptly informs it's a disease to which is incurable.
