Matt,
Heads up! Looks like more Operation Jade Conditioning.
I got no problem with Rangers seeking out new areas to train on. They shouldn’t get into a rote of training in the same areas for years and years.
Rangers are still the good guys in my opinion..
!0 years ago while hiking on Fort mountain Georgia me and several friends got off the trials for some more adventurous hiking and 3 soldiers appeared out of nowhere and told us to get back on the trial.
I have also had friends tell me of hearing about similar experiences on Grassy mountain when people have strayed to far from the Jacks river fishing areas.
Local legend is that the Georgia Gold rush was cut short by the California gold rush and there’s a lot more gold in them hills than was previously thought and The US Government is protecting the potential mining interests in the area.
of course that’s always been the lore around Chatsworth, Elijay, & Blue ridge.
They have been using Coopers for years.
We heard them doing insertions this last
winter. From our camp we could look down
on the food plot and it was cool to see
the choppers below us.
“Mastering the Human Dimension”
Uh huh..
I have a book about hiking in north Georgia that I picked up about 20 years ago that alerts people who may hike in the Cooper Creek WMA that the Rangers use it for training. I have also read accounts of people fishing for brook trout in the creeks up there(and far away from the trails)running into Rangers on training exercises. Some of those Rangers can be like stray dogs-cold, wet, hungry, and lost.
