not really, but dont expect to just pack one out of there by yourself with no help. Are you going with anyone? I definitely wouldnt venture too far out there by myself. Come a long and a cheater rope is a good idea to have at the camp, because sometimes it will be easier to go straight up a cliff with the deer than pack it all the way around. Mainly, just have a sense of where you are and the direct line back to where to need to go. I hunt the same type of terrain that is out there, and it is easy when you have other help and 4-wheelers. Tunica has some huge deer


I am going with 2 other guys who have several years of experience out there...
Will have 2 fourwheelers between us... portable come a long and a cheater ropes will be in the gear bag...

We will be camping in the primitive camp ground on the south tract. Any experience camping there? Issues? etc

Dice,

I've camped there while hunting.

The biggest thing is keeping clean. If you have to get one out early in the trip, you're gonna have to shower after. I know it sounds puss, but you can't go back out in those woods if you are smelly.

Those deer will bust you. They have a portolet out there. Can't run a generator. Sometimes green jeans will ride through just to make sure the place stays clean.

They will also look to make sure you don't have any firearms sometimes(although that is rare).

As to the terrain, somebody mentioned not wanting to drag a nanny out of there. I passed on a doe a few years ago with my 4 wheeler there because getting back up the trail was gonna be hard enough with just me. Put your kill on the front of the bike if ya'll are going up any steep trails, otherwise you could flip your bike backwards...and the party is over.

Be careful in there.
