A little background…
I was stationed at Knox from ‘06-‘09 and hunted whenever work would allow. If I remember correctly they had 3 gun weekends(shotgun or muzzleloader) which I never participated in since I only bow hunted. The quality of bucks that I saw, both alive and taken by other hunters...
Get a Moultrie NXT feeder kit…it has the shocker varmint guard. They may hang around the bottom of it but I have yet to get any pics of them sticking their grubby little paws on the spinner.
I hunted Knox in the mid 2000’s. They closed bow season during the gun weekends and I only bow hunted. I should’ve carried a gun but I didn’t want to deal with all the people. I did just fine with the special draw areas though…especially what they called Anderson (the old golf course area) I...
Hard to tell from the pic but with the body size the deer doesn’t look very old. Could be worn down from the rut though....regardless if he walked by me I would’ve done the same thing!
Ditto on the Tactacam Reveal. I have 2...and the best part is it doesn’t matter what phone service you use. The plan is through the camera and not the phone company. My brother-in-law has Cspire but runs the AT&T Reveal because that’s what has the best signal where we are. If you want a camera...
I won’t shoot does that I know have fawns. I eat what I shoot but I don’t hunt because I need the meat. I can be picky because my dad shoots his limit every year and that’s enough to last us until the next season. Plus I’ve shot does only to have their fawns pop out of the woods shortly after...
Did that exact thing a few years ago on our property back home. Found a climber so I wrote a note with my phone number saying if he wanted it back to call me. Funny thing is I never heard from him...lol
It seems as though a lot of things have changed since I was there, and it's not for the better. I'm sure Hunt Control is getting force fed a bunch of things they are not happy with. I do remember when I was there I drew a buck tag for what I recall was Anderson bow area(by the old golf course)...
They do accomodate hunters. I used to be a Drill Sergeant there and our training exercise on our final FTX was cut short because of the gun opener. There were plenty of times where our training was either cancelled or moved because of it.
Ya'll can complain if you want. I've hunted MS, AL, GA, WA and am currently in LA. I just left Knox this past summer after being there for 3 years. It is by far the BEST hunting I've ever seen. I never participated in the gun hunt because I am mainly a bow hunter and I like the solitude. Other...
