How is the hunting in Banks county?

[jdav]

Looking at leasing some natural timber property along 441. I don’t mind investing the time, $, & energy if the deer herd is there. Looking for a high potential to put meat in the freezer. Large racks aren’t as big a priority as bigger bodied deer. Possibly turkey, yote, & hog hunt as well.

I know nothing about banks cty. But I would look at the harvest report and get a general idea compared to other county's also look at top ten bucks and have a general idea of the genetics.i don't care how much you feed them ,the genetics play a major role.

mfoster Where do you get the harvest record & genetics info?

rule 1. you wont have big deer and yotes and hogs too.

Look under dnr website will give harvest record and you should be able to pull up top 10 bucks from banks cty and should give you a good idea

BIKER13 If I have decent deer/turkey I don’t need anything else to hunt. I won’t complain. If totes are there traps can get some of those.

I live in Banks co not far from 441 and I see deer at least once a week, sometimes daily. Took my first deer last year off my 2nd story back porch with little scouting, no cameras, and while chatting with a friend. I'd say it's a pretty good place to hunt. I hear turkeys and coyotes from time to time. Two days after I shot my deer last fall, a dozen large does ran out in front of my truck and by my mailbox lol.

Wilson Shoals WMA is also nearby.

mfoster Thats a lot of info. Only 12 firearms doe days in Banks (could be why the doe harvest was so low).

Necrosis I saw a lot more coyote sign st the property this weekend.
