That looks like the Hog Mtn I know. If it is I still have property near there, in facts that looks like the property that was for sale last year. Theres a cemetery just up the road from there, lots of Browns buried there. Is that near Goldville?
There is gold in Hillabee Creek, 1 mi due west from where you hunted at the Sanford bridge. Property owned by Nelsons. The Hillabee tribe was wiped out in a village on the creek 1812 by Gen White, he was sent down there by Jackson from Talladega. My property is near the tribe village I guess. Let me know if you were hunting in Talapoosa county.
I may know some places you could hunt, Last summer I spent a few days camping
on the creek, that was living. HH Gnewt

PS Might be another Hog Mtn but it looks exactly Like the one I know.

That looks like it should be a good site--and you get to hunt it. Luck to you.
