Me and some friends are going on a 3 night 4 day hunting trip in the natahala game lands in western nc. We have always hunted in the woods in eastern nc and have no expirence with mountain hunting. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I moved to WNC about a year ago. I have had a hard time finding people to give up even a little information or experience about hunting here. Hopefully yall had a good time during the hunt.

I agree with SwampSpike. In my experience, Western NC is a tough hunt compared to other parts of the state. I’ve never hunted the Natahal area, but a buddy and I hunted the Pisgah National Forest for 2 years and only saw a handful of deer. The terrain makes it extremely difficult to bowhunt. Good luck

How'd it go on your game lands hunt in western NC? The extreme western part of the state has the lowest deer density, some big bucks though.

Heck of an NC mountain buck RM! I'm just north of you up in Ashe County. I typically only get one, maybe two deer a year that big on camera. Only hunted 4 days this year and didn't see a buck I wanted to arrow.

Bow kill?
