Looking for anyone with any experience hunting the George Washington Thomas Jefferson National Forest or state lands near Augusta or Highland Counties. My buddy and I are planning a hike, camp, and hunt during muzzleloader season in that area and we interested if anyone had an my advice to which areas to hunt for bear and/or nice bucks. Any help would be appreciated

Dude, just look at some maps at places that look like deer would exist without much human disturbance and go hunting. If you want a guided hunt, book one.

We have been hunting private land in that area for years with decent luck but looking to venture out and get into more remote areas of the public lands that have the potential to produce a better class of game

Very helpful thanks.

Spot burning is spot burning. Doesn’t matter it’s for elk in the Rockies or woods goats on the east coast. You already know where you want to go. Just go and keep it off the internet. This stuff lives forever. Good luck to you and your buddy.
