Welcome to the forum.
Ain’t no deer in Jackson County.
The fool tells me his reasons; the wise man persuades me with my own.

Welcome aboard. There are many really good folks on here that can and will help you. For me, I hunt nowhere near there. 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.

Welcome ! I love Cherokee county. I wouldn't have minded living in Leesburg. 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!

Welcome to Cherokee County. I'm a implant also, been here in Centre for 20 years. Lots of deer here without heading off up north. 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.

Welcome! All of the deer are in south alabama G you need to PM Quailman for a hunt. Welcome to the train wreck. That’s not like an infamous dove hunt that hosted a few years ago is it Quailman is the South Alabama big button head and spike killer. He’s a pretty good shot on the dove field too.

I’m not resource heavy, so I have to hunt on public land. From what I’ve been reading (little experience last year), you have to get deep in the woods when the pressure is on. Also, with some public land – you’re not allowed to leave a stand up overnight. So, here is my problem – weight. My hang-on tree stand, climbing sticks, and other crap (straps, harness, etc.) weigh in at 46#. My backpack (food, water, binos, rangfinder, compass, knife, etc.) comes in at 19#. So, this has me humping 65# – 70# of gear. I’m in good shape, and have no problem training my body to get used to weight, but I wanted to make sure I’m not way off here.
If the above is about average for public land hunters – then my next question is on setup tactics. Do you tote it all in day by day or in stages?
One suggestion was to hump the stand out and put in place, then come back the following day for the hunt. There are three issues here: (1) Some public lands won’t allow the stands to remain up beyond a day. (2) I don’t want to go out the next day to discover that someone loved my stand more than I did. (3) Too many trips to the same spot increases the chance of getting busted by a deer.
Another suggestion is to take the stand, protein, and water (leave the backpack in the truck). Hump to your spot then setup/hunt. After you drop Bambi’s daddy - tear down and come back to field dress/drag out.
Like I said, I’m new to this and would appreciate any tips from the seniors on the board.

you need to buy the right gear if you plan on climbing a tree. An aluminum climber like one of these: http://treewalkertreestands.com/ ( under 18 pounds) https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/x-stand-ultra-lightweight-climber-tree-stand?a=2073639 ( 12 pounds) or lone wolf stand and steps: https://www.lonewolfhuntingproducts.com/shop/Products/Hunt-Ready-Treestand-System__HRS.aspxAnd youll need a deer cart most likely for recovering one. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/pro...&utm_source=Bing&utm_campaign=CIYou can do the lightweight climber AND deer cart for under $250. The Lone Wolf route is a little more pricier. You leave the cart in the truck until you need it, or load your stand/pack/gear on it....roll it to where you leave the trail. Hide it in the woods and carry your gear after you hide it. (id lock it with a cable lock BTW to a tree). then carry your stand, pack gun or bow to your tree.
