I' ve hunted the National Forest in Rockingham county for years. If you have any specific questions, I' ll try to answer them. The area is mountainous with some areas being very rugged. Deer are not hard to find and there is a large number of bears around. Hunting pressure can be high in some areas, especially close to the access roads during the first two or three days of rifle season. If you' re willing to hike a mile or two into the woods you can find some good places and no other hunters.
