Red Rabbit Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Access may be an issue this year for the high country. There is still 1-3 feet of snow on the forest floor and especially north slopes. Last year in 6A, the gates did not open till the week before the season. There is more snow this year than last, so be reasonable in your expectations. This is off Lake Mary Road today.

Coach Report post Posted March 22, 2010 It may be pretty tough in the upper country this year - still tons of snow and lots of closed areas. Did some shed hunting around Lakeside yesterday and saw very little bird sign, even where the snow has melted off. I can't wait to get the boys out for the OTC youth hunt though - should be lots of fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted March 22, 2010 If it doesn't melt around Greer by May 1, I guess I could call from my cabin's back porch. My neighbors usually don't show up until July or so. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sam Report post Posted March 22, 2010 Youth hunt with my daughter. No tag for me - I have 4 bonus points for next year! Just put a new recoil pad on her 20 gauge. She seems more excited now, with the new recoil pad. She shoots a Winchester youth model 120. It's a good litle gun with Win Chokes. Camo gear and blind has been checked.......hoping birds are were they were in the fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just curious, I never know what I am going to get until I get up there. A couple of friends were on the first Rez hunt from last week and said they seen a few Jakes Gobbling and trying to strut their stuff so I am hoping we'll hit it decent.
