Been out there a few times thru the summer to make sure they're still doing like they said last season and building a public camp ground on Jacobs. Its been cleared and a few loads of gravel hauled in and they stopped. I looked at the new maps on the interwebs a second ago and it looks like they've taken the camp ground away from us behind the gun range AND they didn't open the new one up. Looks like the closest place to camp is gonna be close to Nila church on 33. Any of you guys on here know whats up with this? Other than Bentley lol.

No kidding Casey. There ain't no more deer up there for sure but it sure is fun socializing with everyone at the camp ground.

This is an absolutely perfect example! I hunt a private club that boarders it and had bullets whizzing by my head on the last gun days. Little 8 point never had a chance once he turned and went back across the WMA line.

I just got out of a club the boarders Jacob Mnt because it has been ruined with the amount of hunters.

I watched a guy stalking around last year, with a cross bow bleating with his mouth (sounded terrible). After about an hour after he left I had a doe come in about 50yds then all of a sudden heard what sounded like a bow go off and then I seen the sparks of a arrow skipping through the rocks. This dude had shot at doe with a cross bow well over 80yds. Scarred the crap out of me.

Another instance I went to the same spot only to find EIGHT PEOPLE sitting on the line watching over onto our club. It looked like opening day of Duck season at Guntersville with all the head lamps.

Jacobs mountain is a circus now! Such a huge disappointment because it use to be incredible.

Game wardens could have a field day writing tickets to trespassers during any of the gun days.

That's just sad. I have not hunted Jacobs MTN since we got evicted. We knew it would be like this. I miss Trophy Ridge every day.

I remember when it first opened up to the public. A friend of mine and I spent a lot of time scouting the area, in particular the mountains bordering the old boys home. There were hoof prints the size of cattle and I couldn't wait to hunt it. Unfortunately I don't own an ATV, I was scouting using one of my buddy's vehicles. He got busy and couldn't hunt and I had no way of getting back up there.

I thought that eventually I'd get an ATV and hunt up there. It's such a shame the area has been spoiled

Ya'll think that's bad you should have seen Low Gap before Skyline got it. It got raped the first couple years.

Hunted it several times and seen deer. Just isn't the same. You aren't the only one that misses what we had up there.

You guys are making it hard for me to want to even go up there and scout.... you would think with the buck restrictions you would see deer up there but im sure every 7 pt up and doe seen are shot at .... i had some awesome pics of some good deer up there last year and thought i had a decent place but when it came to the gun days everyone was all over me

Let's see them! When the land got sold, the yahoos that had the lease shot every deer that moved....it will take 10 years to recover.

I don't think any deer gets a pass out there. Buck restriction or not. I was scouting last year and found spikes skull and scouting during season and found a buck with just his head cut off. That place could still be good if they would change the rules and do a few things different. Some of the gun hunts will make you want to get your heart right with the good Lord before you get out of the truck.

I don't expect that place to every be the same again. The gun days are down right scary to be up there. We couldn't hunt half our club because of the trespassers riding four wheelers on our roads or hunting on the line or over on us.

We had multiple stands stolen, feeders stolen and shot up, food plots driven on etc.

Those antler restrictions are not enforced, anybody can lay a spike down and get out of there without even being checked or they'll go back to get it later that night. If you hunt the South end it's a easy drag to the bottom of the mountain and get a buddy to pick you up.
