Have been monitoring a DEER HUNT on Entergy TRS this morning. They are using Talk Group 3216 which they have previously called "Group 2". At least two males and one female on the channel. They have had a pack of dogs run a deer through their location within last hour. One of the males advised he was sitting up in his deer stand. LOTS of cursing (ie: "I just saw a big M* F* buck come by me" "Where are those M*F* SOB dogs now?). These are NOT crews working who are watching deers, these are folks who are actually deer hunting. Can't get an exact location, they keep using references of "over that mountain" and "by the creek bed"

Interesting listening.

After reading this yesterday, I turned on my Entergy trunked system. I didn't hear any bizar traffic, but I did learn about an ASP tower that was down. I usually never monitor Entergy unless there is severe weather or something similar. I figured out a talk group or two just listening in for about an hour. I'll have to monitor them more to see if any employees are deer hunting on their days off. :D

I've been monitoring this system in preparation of Winter Weather. I've had some success identifying the talk groups. That deer hunt was really strange. The only thing I can figure is that some of the employees borrowed some portables to aid them at deer camp. Was not expecting something like that. Any help you can give to identify some of the many talk groups would be appreciated. Check out the Entergy TRS for the ones I've figured out. There are many more talk groups out there & some are proving to be difficult because of the lack of information/geography being discussed.

I am going to monitor it for the next several weeks, like you getting ready for winter. I will submit all my findings to the rrdatabase too.

I know this is a pretty old thread but I am wondering as to what frequencies you have came up with. I am in Lonoke and the only cc I have found is 859.91250. I am hearing some traffic but nothing that I beleive is local. Conway and Little Rock some, maybe not much going on in this area. Seems to be some type of dispatch to truck. I put all the control frequencies for the state from the rrdb but did not hear anything, did a programed search and found the cc that I am using. Thanks for any information you may have. Jon

About the frequencies...I used a search of the FCC database for the area of the TCBY Tower (now Metropolitan Bank Tower) in downtown Little Rock which is where Entergy's primary radio system is based. It seems as if there were 76 frequencies (I'll go back to my reference material and check that) which I entered and that is how I've been able to locate many of the Entergy offices around the state. Go to the database and that is what confirmed talk groups I've found...there are several TG where I've had only limited traffic not enough to be able to ID the TG.
