  1. sharpener question

    Maybe they do -- I'm not a knife expert. But they worked a lot better than whatever lame thing I had been doing.

  2. sharpener question

    Smith's brand is great. Here's what I use for small knives...

    Trappers in Georgia

    I caught one more beaver last weekend. That's two skinned and fleshed, ready for the boards. I figure each one caught is worth four two years from now (no kits in their future). I also got tired of lugging a rifle that I'll rarely need with body grip traps, so I bought a Beretta 21A Bobcat...

    Trappers in Georgia

    I don't use drowning sets right now, so the likelihood of having to deploy the gun is small. I just bought a Beretta Bobcat so I won't have to tote a rifle along with all the other gear.

    Trappers in Georgia

    I've pulled a bunch of beaver and otter from my little neighborhood trap line over the years. I started after a hurricane came through, and flooded the nearby creek until I could've launched my canoe from the back porch. The trapperman.com forum has a ton of great information.

  7. Are any of you small game only hunters?

    Hell yes, if I ever shoot enough to make a decent stew! My Mom (80 y/o) grew up in the WV mountains. She's mentioned on occasion that her family ate squirrel for dinner now and then.

  8. Are any of you small game only hunters?

    I have zero interest in big game hunting. I'm not a hunting fanatic at all. I will occasionally go for squirrels, and I don't care whether I bag any or not. (And I'll trap some beaver this month and next to keep the creek from flooding my property.) It's mainly about the experience, the...

    Muskrat trapping tips

    I saw an otter running through the back yard last weekend. He came up a small stream from where the neighbor kid had a bait fish trap, then ran out of water and ran back toward the creek. But a muskrat will eat shellfish, too -- just looked it up based on someone else's post.

  10. Tree rats and WMA question

    I understand that each WMA is leased private property, so each comes with its own dates and regulations. But you generally check in the first time for that WMA (online or in person), and you're good for the season.

  11. Aug 15 tree rat season.

    I think I'd like to go a short distance with a canoe and hunt along the Allatoona shoreline. Does anyone have tips or information that might help? I'll probably go out on the West side of the bridge just outside of Canton.

  12. 7 year old and 20 year old shot, "mistaken for game".

    A few years ago I was standing on top of a ridge taking a break. I had never used my Primos squirrel call so I pulled it out. Instructions said something like, "Be careful, it's so realistic they'll think you're a squirrel!" I shook it and BAM! Several shots. Bunch of kids chased me almost...

  13. Small Game hunting on WMA during Archery

    One WMA has allowed this for several years. I've gone squirrel hunting there a few times during archery season. But I'm a quiet hunter -- mainly out for solitude and reflection. One deer walked right up to me, about 30 feet away, and hung around for ten minutes, ignoring my orange clothing...

  14. Orange vest

    Always. I only hunt public land for now but it wouldn't matter -- poachers don't care about public or private. Two quick tales. 1. During bow season one WMA also permits small game hunting with small caliber rifles. I hung out with a doe for about 20 minutes, maybe 20 yards away, while just...

  15. First WMA hunt advice

    Berry College WMA has lots of deer on almost 15,000 acres. You'll drive 1+ hours to get there from Cherokee. I've been on the ground hunting squirrel on a section of about 2,000 acres. On weekends I've counted about a dozen in that section archery hunters each time. If you're willing to walk...
