I know from experiencing it season after after season. The close shotI spoke of was not only from someone gun hunting during bow, but a trespasser as well--I confronted him. My first year here, I was in a hardware store that sells camo , etc. andI asked the owner about the hunting.He introduced me to a guy in overalls with no shirt under them, and few teeth--not kidding a bit--! He asked him, 'How many deer you got this year so far?" He replied, 'Oh, shoot, just 13, and the biggest was a 3 pointer.'This was 2 weeks beofre gunseason and this guy wasn't bow hunting. Georgia limit at the time was 2 bucks and 4 does. I've taken 2 bear here, and the DNR tags them,and immediately goes to the site of the kill to investigate. On my second, the reanger told me that 80% of all bears killed in Gilmer County are illegal. If you need more , I'll be glad to continue.If you lived here youi woul dhave no problem understanding what I am talking about.
