Hey guys, I'd like to get out to Zaleski before the rush of Christmas takes up all my time. Thinking of taking Friday off and getting an early start, although I'm flexible. Besides, I need to wear my "Hammock Life" shirt! Camp C is ok, or wherever you like. Hope to see you there.

That would be the last day or two of gun season for deer, might be a little busy in the woods about that time, especially Saturday morning is the last chance for everyone who couldn't take time off work. Also lots of folks will team up late week and do drives which gets a little too lively for me. But I'm definately itchin for some time in the woods.

I'm itching for some time in the woods too...actually it's driving me nuts to get out, but I think I'll stay away that weekend.
Been wantin to do a night hike. I know thats the last weekend for deer season but are the immediate areas really being hunted? I mean are they public hunting areas?

When you hiked in on the east side of the middle loop last time you probably didn't get to see all the cars parked along SR 278 and the access roads, bow hunters were in there pretty thick. The only restrictions I see in the regulations for Zaleski are restrictions limiting shooting in proximity to roads, buildings and recreation areas. Otherwise it seems like the forest is available to hunting.

I think the weekend after would be a better bet.
If a tree falls in the woods and it lands on mime, does anyone care?

Hell with it, let's go. Thursday night or what.

So, how did it go?
Had a great time. I got there about 9:30 and Home Run had a nice big fire goin. The moon was out so it gave us a bright night. I got set up and we hung out around the fire BS'd til around 2. By then we had split a 6 pack and were tuckered out. It got down to about 38. We spent the next day chatting and collecting firewood for the chilly night ahead, wandered around camp checking out the other locations and ducking when we heard gunshot. There were several hunters passing through the area. I found a split shotgun slug on the ground right by the stump I was sitting on from the very recent past it seemed. I noticed a tree right inline with where the slug was found that looked like it had been grazed. We did some cleaning up pf beer cans and left behinds from previous campers. It was an earlier night saturday. It only got down to 40 but was pretty breezy all night and very bright with another full moon and the stars were out in display before the moon got too bright. After a morning lounge and breakfast we started breaking camp and got all packed up just in time for a light sprinkle. I parked on the service road just down the hill from the latrine so we had an easy retreat. The skys opened up just as we got down king hollow. Had a great time hanging out with Home Run. He's good people! He has some pics, I didn't get a chance to take any.

Sounds like you guys had a great time. I'm almost able to come out to a hang! Just need an UQ. Hopefully January or February.
