It's weird there with the leaves. The land is located about 70 miles south of Atlanta. The terrain is very hilly and on the higher hills the leaves are still falling but down in the bottoms they are almost gone. Only had one or two light frost also. Down here in Florida the tree's are still in full summer mode.

Club rules say we can't Field dress unless we are the only ones in camp or another reason the deer can't be dragged out. 50% of the time the deer can be driven to with the ATV. If you can't get to it with the ATV there is most of the time more than one person in camp that will help out. One of the slick heads I shot ran down in to a deep hole. I had to dress her in the hole then myself and another man dragged her up with a rope. The walls were to steep to climb with deer in hand and no could a ATV get in there. If I was all by myself I would have ground skinned her and hauled out part one at a time. The biggest reason for no field dressing is Coyote control. The yotes have started coming around so we don't want to give them a reason to be there. We have a designated gut pile that we sometimes hunt over for yotes. It is sometimes more work but in the long run it's a good idea.
