re: Anything historically cool about your hunting location?

Cool thread Dodd. there is quite a bit of history, though I don't know much of it. There is a big concrete cistern looking thing by the shooting range. I forgot what it was used for that is the least cool thing.
What we call the boat hole, is a levied off area that is still 50' deep. some guys a few years back leased 40 acres and started digging for a civil war boat that was there. they thought it had gold in it. They left.....I guess they ran out of money before they found the gold or there was no gold.
we had to stop going down one ridge, the two track on top of it was wearing it down a little and some bones were starting to show. now we go around the old grave site. no head markers so it is really old or poor or both. when we finally realized it was a grave yard, we got to walk around and check it out before it was taped off. you cold see the outline of a couple of skulls that like the front was worn away and it is a sectional view. A little freaky.
we can't remove anything metal or use a metal detector for fear it might become a historic site.

We own in the area where Theodore Roosevelt camped and hunted for the first two weeks of his Louisiana Bear hunt in 1907. (Quite possibly the actual campsite)
Was also the site of western front lines and several small engagements during the siege and occupation of Vicksburg
