Now that the season is over i went and checked out Chassahowitzka yesterday. Seen 2 deer 1 buck, 1 doe in a opening between some heavy cover. Allso seen a gopher tortuise walking down the road. That was pretty much it.

I am curious what black bear poop looks like. Ifound a pile that wasnt deer that was large and loaded with acorns. We seen many carcass along the trails and roadways where folks had quarted up a deer and left the remains lying on the ground.

I allso seen a area where it looked like hogs had been rutting around and tore up the ground pretty good. I got some pictures of that i will post later for yall to tell me if thats what it actually was. I have never actually seen an area rutted up by hogs so i am guessing thats what caused this.

It took me roughly 3 hours to drive the network of improved roads that werent closed to vechicles.There are many more that are there but closed to vechicles. Do thay open those roads during hunting season or are they allways closed?

I never found an entrance to the western gulf side of the WMA is this area only accesible by boat. I wonder howmany people paddle or boat in from the western side to hunt. That is an option i am willing to try myself especially if it gets me into areas that arent hunted as heavly.

I dont know how to begin to start looking for areas to scout and decide on stand locations when every road or access point on the 3 hr trip of driving the roads had ribbons tied to the trees. I dont want to set up where other people allready have their stand but it seems like all the areas are covered. Any suggstions on how to begin locating an area would be appreciated.
