It is an inside thing.....I don't want to PM, and HE took the TIME to translate the ENGLISH words into GERMAN for his post. You might want to figure out how not to worry about things that don't concern you.....how else would I know his name, and how else would he know so much about what we are talking about if I did not know him.
Just for future reference SusieKiller is my brother, and Quackmaster is my best friend.
Arkansasbowhunter,
The farm shop across from where you guys put the campers leads to the little patch of woods I am talking about. The road in front of it or to the south of the patch is Kotchel Road. I don't think it is something you want to hunt all the time, but I have seen big deer coming and going from it especially before they cut the beans. Its real thick in there and makes great middle of the day cover. Also, you can walk through there and see old headstones. I think it was possibly an old slave cemetary. Some of the dates are real old. There are not many of them maybe 6 to 10, but its the reason those trees are there.
We used to own the property to the North (of ya'lls camper spot). You access it off of Wrape Road. The driveway is just to the left after the first bridge on Wrape Road (like you were going up to the Wrape Plantation). You can see Guy Kotchels house to the right on the Little Bayou.
The 40 acre field we owned is to the West of the property. There used to be a deer stand way back in the North East corner of one of the fields you guys lease. If you were standing on Kotchel Road at the slough you are talking about and looking back to the NE you could see it. It is surrounded by BM woods to the East and to the North. Good deer in those woods, hogs as well. If you walk north through those woods till you get to the Little Bayou its like having your own set of woods. If you go East till you hit the levee that is where our old property starts. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would send you a pitcture of a deer we chased for 2 years.
Like I said before if you can figure the deer out there are some big ones down there. Having the Buckingham section of BM there is a plus and a minus at times. Also, there is a lot of poaching down there. I shot a really good 8 point 3.5 year old one evening in that 40 acre field I mentioned (it boarders ya'lls lease) he never would turn he was standing on the levee and I could see his right side. Anyway it was getting dark, right beam was real good, and heavy. 140 class deer. I shot him he turned and fell. 224 yards later I see that his LEFT side has been shot off by a bullet right above the eyeguard. Bullet hole through his left ear. That has nothing to do with poaching, but it is still common.
If you have not already I would go by and see Bill Cheek. He guides out of the cabin right there once you turn off 88 and onto Wrape Road. If you are looking at those little grain bins its the house to the left. He is a neat guy, but don't let him on any secrets.
I know all of this in NO way helps you with your memberships, but my brother and I do know a lot about that farm and that area. If we can give you any info let us know. Just send me a PM if thats OK with wolly bugger.
