First Black Bear
Congrats on a great hunt! Really nice bear. I hunt out of my Ford Expedition EL for bear in the mountains of North GA. Throw a fold-able travel mattress in the back and sleep like a baby. It's nice to be super mobile if you need to be.- jbogg

Non Lethal Bear Encounters (pics)
Outstanding pics! I don’t have any to compare with the previous photos, but I have used my phone to video a few I ran across last fall. The big sow in the pic had three cubs up in the Red Oak that were each 75 - 80lbs.- jbogg

Eastern North Carolina public bear
North GA has some great public land bear hunting if that is within driving distance for you. As soon as you cross the state line from NC you are in almost a million acres of Chattahoochee National Forest. Bow season starts in early September just as the White Oak acorns are ripening. For the...- jbogg

Big Mama!
I have only been bear hunting for a couple of years now, but I am still amazed at how something so big can move so quietly through the woods. We have a 75 lb minimum size requirement, and while her cubs were likely of legal size any sow with a cub at her side is not legal. She was larger than...- jbogg

Big Mama!
While hunting on the ground in the mountains of North GA this past fall I had this large sow with three cubs slip in from behind me. It had rained that morning and the wind was blowing pretty good so I never heard a thing until a twig snapped to my left. Turned my head and she was standing 15’...- jbogg

So this is what Daniel Boone was raving about!
I enjoyed your story. I had a similar experience. I started hunting bear in the North GA mountains two years ago and was fortunate to take my first one this fall. I had heard so many contradictory opinions regarding the taste of bear meat I was a little apprehensive about serving it to the...- jbogg

Horn hunter main beam
I have used the Main Beam XL for the past year and a half and have been very pleased overall. I use it 2 - 3 times per week year round mainly on short three to four mile fitness hikes usually carrying 30 - 35 lbs and the straps and belt have held up well. I have only packed out one wild hog...- jbogg

North Georgia Mountain Boar
Thanks fellas. I had never even seen a wild hog until I started hunting public land in the North GA mountains two years ago. There are plenty of them, but they are by no means easy to find. I would bet the majority of them die of old age in some of those impenetrable mountain laurel thickets...- jbogg

North Georgia Mountain Boar
I had a small window on Sunday to run up to the mountains and try to find some pigs on Chattahoochee NF. I parked at the locked FS road gate at 10:30AM, and after hiking up the mountain for an hour I walked up on this bruiser just as he was entering a distant wildlife opening. He was every bit...- jbogg

Hello from Dawg Nation
Thanks for the warm welcome. Georgia has a little bit of everything from a beautiful coastline to the start of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the northern part of the state. I have always envied the western hunters who are able to glass lots of ground looking for game. Our mountains are densely... -

Hello from Dawg Nation
I have seen several venomous snakes (Timber Rattlers and Copperheads) since I started hunting the Appalachian Mountains, and since I am usually solo and a few miles from the truck I purchased a pair of snake boots for peace of mind. -

Hello from Dawg Nation
I have been lurking for a while enjoying the hunting tales from out West and thought it was time to say hello. Born and raised in North Georgia I am 54 and have been hunting since my mid twenties. As a kid the stories in Outdoor Life, Field & Stream and Sports Afield were read over and over... -

Horn Hunter Main Beam XL
Georgia guy. Been lurking for a while enjoying the pics and stories from out West. I have a lightly used (for 1 season) Horn Hunter Main Beam XL pack. Decided that my ALPS external frame is better suited for carrying my treestand so the Horn Hunter is for sale. Other than very slight wear on...
