alright, so i've hunted Falls Lake before. its a great spot for early duck season and its surprisingly pretty good for deer as well.

you sound like you're ready. maybe, just looking for a little encouragement. but i think you have an idea of what the 'ideal plan of attack' would be for you.

i'm guessing this area was chosen for convenience since its not too far from Durham. if you end up not liking where your hunting, for whatever reason (too much hunting pressure, unfriendly people, general inconvenience, or no luck), then look down at Jordan Lake. i've known some people to have luck down there as well.

i've hunted the Beaver Dam Lake portion of Falls so i cant really give specifics to a spot, or trail, or anything.

but, as you mentioned you like hiking, i think you will need to get out there and find a few oak trees. if you can find an oak ridge, then you have hit a hunting location. what i like to do is to follow a deer trail and look for acorns. white oaks being the best, red oaks being the most common but still great. you can tell the difference by the acorns, but also by the leaves and bark of the tree.

in these hardwoods, this will be the most consistent hunting area.

after you find your oak ridge, look for the ideal tree to set your climber in nearby. you will not want to be right in the mix, but maybe along one of the trails leading to the oaks allowing yourself a quartering away shot. the key for bow hunting is to remain hidden enough to let a deer walk very, very close so do not pick a place too exposed, nor clear too much cover.

once you have picked your tree, go up in the climber and sit the stand, make sure you'll have a shot, like the view and are comfortable there.

bring along some bright eyes to mark the trail from the parking lot to the tree. try to make the trail one that leaves the oaks and deer trails undisturbed. and even with the bright eyes marking your way in and out, walk this trail a few times to familiarize yourself with it.

well, i hope this helps. probably not the most specific advice but i think you'll do fine if you can find an oak tree or two that is dropping acorns. key with public lands, especially in the raleigh/durham area, is getting on stand early. its pretty competitive to be in the best spot so if your hunting the AM, which i find to be better for hardwoods, get on stand an hour before shooting time. for PM hunts, go after lunch and nap but you probably wont see much until sundown.

let me know if i can help with anything else. good luck this season.

So when I would go hiking in the woods I'm usually walking through logging areas. There are a ton of roads, usually a big stream/river around the area. First thing I do when I get out of the truck is grab my compass and determine when I walk away which way my truck is. I might only walk 3-5 miles away but if I get turned around all I have do is walk "South West" and I should be walking back to my truck or the road I parked on.

This is only half good though because I've exited the woods more than a mile from my truck and have had to walk along a road towards it. If it wasn't so civilized a mile off course will make you more lost because you won't see your only landmark, your vehicle.

Now if i have a map and a compass I can walk a direction and the first obvious landmark I come to I can determine some location. Say I come across a river and it is east of me according to my compass. Now I know that I'm within a certain area of the map: the entire river. I walk south along the west side of the river for about 1 hour, at a slow walking pace through dense forest and I arrive at a joining stream. I glance at my map and find there's only 3 intersecting streams that come from the west side of the river, now i have determined that I'm within three possible locations.

I cross the small stream and continue south and finally arrive at a forest service road. It took me another hour to find this road and it has a bridge. Now I look at my map and there are two possible bridges south of a stream but one looks like it was 10 miles between the stream and the road and the other one looks like maybe 2 or 3. I'm probably at the 2-3 bridge and stream location.

Of course if you have a topographical map, you can notice shapes in the landscape like cliffs, gentle hills, bends in the landscape that can make navigating much easier.

Lastly when in the woods i would bring trail marking tape http://www.amazon.com/Hme-Products-Marking-Ribbon-Orange/dp/B004RFXAOC to start marking my path as I go along if I got lost, or at least my entry/exit point so I could see it.


Ok and lastly you can always lay down your map and lay your compass on top of it. When the compass shows north, turn your map so that North on the map is aligned with the compass. Now, look around and see what is around you. Oh, that mountain range is 175 degrees from your location. That river is 90 degrees from you, down a steep hill. Now with your compass you can determine your location if the spots are marked and you can align them easily. Topographical maps are the easiest because you can judge steepness in terrain. It just becomes a elimination game of what you see around you and what lines up on the map. Most people look for bends in a river. If your map is accurate (rivers change course) and zoomed in enough you can track bends and distances and get a bearing that way.

The bigger trails around here have tree tags. They look like little plastic flags that are held on by long roofing nails. The nail is driven in just far enough to hold, but allows the tree to grow. I can't find them online, but I would think that a cattle ear tag would work pretty well.

I've also seen reflective tacks used to mark trails. They are easily seen with a flashlight.

u/mdwyer · 3 pointsr/askamerica

I think you're talking about Marking Whiskers. They are brightly-colored plastic brush-like things that make it easier to see survey markers.

u/doubtsabouttheking · 7 pointsr/oddlyterrifying

It's probably a reflective trail marker on the tree.

I've never seen trails marked with paint but with orange ribbon.

Tell the landlord that the neighbor is trying to stop you from parking there. Ask them to mark the parking spot using survey markers like this if not paved so the neighbor knows it is your space. https://www.amazon.com/Survey-Marker-Profile-Boundary-Hi-Vis/dp/B00IAQTFYI
If paved then ask them to paint lines for the parking space.
Have them also put a sign like this or one of the many other types of signs.
https://www.amazon.com/SmartSign-Engineer-Reflective-Reserved-Parking/dp/B0089OZJKU
You can make a custom sign with saying "reserved parking for 123 fake street" and put your address on there.
https://www.amazon.com/Reserved-Parking-Custom-Sign-Aluminum/dp/B0083DN9ZE
Or a generic sign from home depot.

If they wont do that then you can put up the signs and markers yourself.

This way if the neighbor gets a survey they know exactly where the space is and can sue your landlord if it encroaches their property.

Otherwise if you dont want the hassle, you tell the landlord to prove the property is theirs or they will be breaking the lease. Which you technically could sue them to get you an alternative space since the lease is valid.

I guess in the future if they want to lease you a reserved space, make sure you write into the lease that the landlord must keep the space clearly marked with markers or lines and a reserved parking sign".
Tell any pissed off neighbors they have to talk to the landlord and not you.

I see copperheads all the time being in the falls lake watershed area which is all forested.

I finally bought a pair of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Fnova-Professional-Standard-Reptile-Handling/dp/B00DYHVARS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1497440775&sr=8-3&keywords=snake+grabbers

However, as much as I hate dispatching any animal I don't have a problem using my shovel to first kill the snake then grab it with by "tongs" and taking it deep into the woods and tossing it so some bird of prey (owl, hawk etc) can have a meal.

sorry but I have dogs and they have been bitten multiple times and besides worrying about whether they will die or not those $800 vet bills are hard to take.

I also don't want to think about my kids or wife getting bit as we've had them on the driveway, sidewalk, garden, garage etc.

I think I finally have the population under control near my home though.

Black snakes etc are ok... just poisonous copperheads are not with me.
