Hey guys, how's it gong? I'm frommwashington county Tennessee, hunting Johnson and Piney Flats mainly both private.
I live in north Alabama, but after talking to some friends in tenn, I'm starting to look at land up around hunt land, no farther north than the Lynchburg area. Is it true that there are more deer per square mile than in Alabama? And how's the turkey hunting?
What's up guys? I know that I live in Mass at the moment but I grew up in Kingsport, TN so I still consider myself "from" there. How are y'all doing down there? season just opened up here in MA I have had two sits and seen one doe that didn't offer a shot. Man do I miss it down there. good luck to all
I live in Union co tn hunt Union Knox and Grainger co's and usually take a few trips up to fort Campbell every year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Howdy Tennessee, I'm from South Florida but am looking at taking on a project in TN. I'd appreciate if some of you would check out the thread I started and give me some feed back. Ya'll would certainly be of some help since you live and hunt the area. http://forums.bowhunting.com/food-plots-habitat-improvement/67457-tennessee-food-plot-habitat-improvement-project-advice-needed.html Thanks! :D
I don't think we have more deer per square mile than the Bama Boys do. I'm in Tullahoma (12 miles from Lynchburg) and I used to hunt with some kinfolks from the Hartselle AL area. They always seemed to like it up here but it's not a real trophy buck area, just lots of deer. As for turkey, we have to kick them out of the way so we can shoot the deer!
The deer get bigger in Eastern TN, just not a many as middle TN has. I enjoy hunting Middle TN much better...lol.
It was a decent one I guess. Didn't see as many bucks as I wanted too. Funny, my last name is Barnett.
Sullivan County Tennessee here. Anyone know of any good places to hunt/lease? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well, another year Tennessee. What is everyone's take on the number of bucks you can take this year? I only hunt public land, except for one private property that is not real big. I will be moving around real good this year. I have around 4 good areas I am going to hit. How about everyone else? How many 'sweet' spots do you have? Also, what do y'all think about the increase of the licenses this year? Good luck to everyone. Hopefully get some Tennesseans with some pics on here with your archery deer.
Is there any good public land in Tennessee near Nashville to hunt? I live in Nashville, but I do all of my hunting back home in KY.
I'm a complete fan of dropping the buck limit from 3 to 2. I would love to even see it go to one! Now this is just my opinion but here it goes. Tennessee can grow some great bucks if they can get some age on them. The problem isn't completely the buck bag limit. Although it's a big part, I think our biggest problem is our crazy long gun seasons (muzzleloader/rifle). Muzzleloader season comes in the first week of November and from then until January, you can hunt with a gun. In most of your big buck states, gun season is very condensed and it's not smack dab in the middle of prime time. Take the gun seasons and have them start around thanksgiving or December 1st. The difference in quality deer would dramatically improve. Also, as far as antler less goes, we need to simplify things. Instead of being able to kill 4 during archery, 1 during muzzleloader, etc, they need to just say you can kill 5 does (or whatever number) and you can kill them whenever you want. Just my opinion!

I have to agree with you Matt. The gun season here is way too long. Where I am from, (Michigan) the gun season is only 2 weeks. I don't like the dates, as they coincide with the rut, but it is only for two weeks. Tennessee is more than capable of producing some decent bucks.
I wished we would have went to only 1 buck. yes the gun seasons are way to long, I do not think you should be able to carry a gun into the woods to Dec 1st
Finally some body agrees that gun season is too long! I wonder if there is anything we can do to try to get that changed? Anyone know how to get that ball rolling? Sadly, I have to hunt this season with a rifle only but next year its back to bow for me!
I was checked bye the game warden last saturday while squierrel hunting, he said that he thought it was to long as well, said that he dont know if it will ever get reduced or not, but he could see in the future more WMAs reducing gun season, but more than likely private land will stay the same
This season has been terrible for me I have not seen any deer while on stand yet.I'm hunting public lands and they have produced in the past.I'm stumped
