Small world. My grandfather leased that place from the early 70's until they cut it in 95 from the Coates. It was one tract then with the cabin on the left side of coon hop rd and the majority of the property on the right. My brother and I built a small dock on that little pond on the big side. Some of the prettiest hardwoods I've ever seen before it was cut. Right side was 50% pasture and pines on the front and all hardwoods on the back. Killed my first buck off that beaver swamp years ago and my first turkey in that front pasture. I bought a place 15 years ago between the Dudley land/McGregor and the Wilson's on the north end about 2 miles the way the crow flies. Love the area, but it's not what it used to be.

Are any of ya'll in Coon Hop Rd Hunting Club??

Any of y'all hunt close to 29, 47, or 45,?

If you are ever at the Chappy's deli in Pepper Tree early in the morning and run into a big fat ugly dude that's a former tight end for Bama and the Pittsburgh Steelers don't ever let him know your family has property there. He won't ever leave.

Did I meet you on the side of the road one morning hunting next to the high fence?

No. I hunt across the road from the high fence

It is such a small world. Been reading this post since it started. I Travel 13,19,2 & 23 going to union springs to hunt. I've hunted cross keys last ten years but changed leases this year. Good to know many members are in our area. Good luck in the rut guys.

Are there any trees left on cross keys(assuming you mean the one on dirt rd 2)? Every time I go through there I almost hit deer.
