How is the deer density and is the genetics decent? I am interested in a 1500 acre lease real close the the Forever Wild Red Hills tract. I have been in the area before about 30 years ago and from what I remember it is really hilly and looked like it might be pretty hard to hunt. Duty, Honor, Country Robert E. Lee

Lots of hardwoods, due to the red hill salamander. I limited out every year i was in it. Monroe County is loaded with turkeys. If you can't kill one there, you may want to find a different hobby. Hate i had to relocate. Last edited by N2TRKYS; 04/19/13 05:03 PM. 83% of all statistics are made up.

We had dog hunting all around us and they pushed the big bucks onto us. When they quit dog hunting around us the hunting deteriorated. Great turkey hunting and beautiful woods. Nice camphouse and camper area. Low to medium deer density with no agriculture around. If managed properly, it could be really good. It is hilly but not too bad. Lots of rattlesnakes. Hunt the white rocks about a mile up the tracks from where the dirt road crosses flat creek. PM me if you get in and I'll tell you what used to be the hot spots. One negative, a guy owns 40 acres right in the center of the property and it's hunted hard. jmlane
