Yea Croom has a lot of does...o nice...i know a guy that lives up that way n spoke to a biologist there a couple years back he said the doe to buck ratio in there is a 15-1...One thing i find wierd with Croom is that you dont see many buck rubs for the amount of deer that are in there...yea i am gonna be back out there saturday

Anyone been successful still hunting in the Green Swamp ?

The first couple hogs i killed out of the Green Swamp was when i was still huntin on the ground...as for deer other than jumpin some up the only encounters i had was a doe that walked within 20ft. of me n walkin up on that monster of an 8 point year before last...

I was able to make it out to Croom Saturday...all I seen was 2 big does n found some fresh scrapes in the area Im huntin...as of Saturday they had 29 bucks killed for the first 8 days...mine was still the biggest at 142 lbs. n the most points was an 8 point...looks like they will end up gettin even less outta there this year...but still good averagin 4 bucks a day for a wma

Anyone ever hunt Richloam? I have a chance to hunt the opening weekend but I have never been on the property.

Richloam has some good deer in there although its mostly a dog hunt area...i camp in Richloam durin general gun season purty much every mornin n night on my way to n from the swamp i see deer...the terrain there is a lot like green swamp but richloam has more oaks n in some places is wetter than the swamp...over the years seen some purty good bucks come outta there biggest awas a wide 11 point with tall tines we seen a guy with at the gas station...said he got it in Richloam but everybody was wonderin if he was tellin a story because that buck was huge

How are the roads at Croom..is 4wheel drive a must?

It appears the check station is unmanned after the first 9 days...id this is so..what do you do if you get a deer?

Croom is only 50 miles from my house..3lakes is 90 ..ouch

Do ya remember the name or vehicle of the man with the 11 pt? A few yrs ago one of the guys I hunt with killed a big 11 pt that netted in the 130's. I'm wondering if it was him you saw.

the roads all in all are purty good...some are a bit sandy but just keep on the gas n ya will be aight...yea that is true after the first nine no more check station...ya just go n get to cleanin it
