Best of luck if you do manage to make it for the hunt. Nasty stuff that COVID 1st bout with it I didnt experience nothing with it other than the positive testing. 2nd time with it almost had to be hospitalized and placed on a vent. Be sure to take in plenty of fluids and I found the otc cough and cold meds helped to remediate the affects.
Thx yes I pounded the OTC cold&flu stuff and managed to keep my experience pretty mild. Lingering cough isn't surprising as its normal for me w/most colds. Timing sucks as I'm back in middle GA for a late start to our deer/bear season, and relegated to the couch. Hope to get out there soon.
Definitely understand. In 20 I did a diy hunt out in Idaho same time frame early season for Ga. By the time i returned after my 2 week trip I had lost 25 lbs and became ill to the point i had to go to the hospital. Turned out i developed a nutrient and some other type of deficiency, i was put on bed rest for like 2 weeks or so had several rounds of iv treatments to expedite the recovery process of the deficiency issue and stayed on protein shakes and those weight gainer shakes for 4 months after the fact. I went to Idaho a little bulky around 190 i believe and I weighed in at the hospital like 150 to 160 range. Its rough stuff but its apart of it I reckon catching crud and other ailments when on the road traveling and such.
yikes, scary stuff.
Yes, we stayed in the woodline for the duration of the 2 week period we was out there. Only time we left the trailhead was to make the 4 to 5 hour 1 way hike in and out to go to the nearest town to resupply on dry goods for meals. Wanted to maximize the most of the time we had to devote to hunting vs traveling back and forth. We knew the odds were stacked against us generally speaking anyways.
Be careful, that Hardly Hanging guy is a sketchy character. Just kidding.
Meant to send ya a DM but still have limited access due to new account. I’d love to join the Signal chat to discuss some Deer hunting in some N GA Wma’s
Lots of public ground but it’s hit hard. Most guys chase the acorns. A lot more deer on private but it’s hard to get permission. Probably have better luck with bears.
Great feedback, I appreciate it. That seems to be the initial general consensus. Steep wooded terrain, low deer numbers… but if a guy weren’t picky, just trying to fill the freezer with venison, do you think it’s worth a shot? Hell, I’d happily take a doe home.
