Old Mossy Horns
I have finally bit and joined the Northern Dismal. Now I'm going to have to go and figure my way around in there. It will be a learning curve for me and the hounds.
I used the map that was sent to showing the property lines, to make a new map using Google maps. The map is at least close and the acreage off that map was over 37K acres. I know a guy that years ago got lost in there and ran out of gas, but he would get lost a lost anywhere. LOLI hear ya bud! That club is huge, something like 30,000 acres isnt it?
All weyheuser land I believe isn’t it?
Yes for the most part. There is some that is owned by individuals, around the outsides from my understanding.All weyheuser land I believe isn’t it?
Sent you a message/conversation.Darren,,Just a curiosity question,,,,,,Did they have a waiting list set up?
Daron, do they hunt as a club or can you hunt however you want?
That would be interesting. It would be like a field trial down a Hofmann Forest.I was just on the phone with a former member when I read your post,he said they did not considering how big it is and the number of members they have there could be as many as 10 to 12 groups dog hunting each day and as few as 3 to 4 going on what day of the week it is plus still hunters and bear hunters when the season is in. It would be interesting for them to surround 5 or 6 blocks and turn out a couple of hundred hounds at one time.

The bigger woods in the Eastern Counties do tend to have quite a few. I don't think there are more in the Northern Dismal than the other places. I do know the guys that have been hunting down there for a few years see them on a normal basis. They say they usually see at least one per trip. I know rattlesnakes tend to be more docile, more so like copperheads than cottonmouths. I'll just try to be cautious and not try to flat out step on one. Thinking about getting an adjustable walk board for crossing the canals. I already wear snake boots due to hunting some places wrapped up with cottonmouths and will likely get a pair of chaps snake proof to the waist, just in case. I have worked and hunted where there were suppose to be rattlesnakes before but never heard or seen any. Here, I'm told that is going to happen. Plenty of rabbits for them to eat. LOLDRS, in your last post you mentioned rattlesnakes. I was wandering about that down there. I've been told that they are plentiful in that area. Is it any more of a concern in that area than others?
