    How many deer can you kill in your home state?

    TN is divided into zones. Flat, mostly ag and river bottoms on the west end transitioning as you go eastward across the TN River into more hilly terrain then onward to the Cumberland Plateau then the Appalachian Mountains. Limits are high on the west end and lower as you go east. On the west...

    New mobile setup

    Have a few options depending on the situation spanning a climber, lightweight lock-on (XOP), and a saddle. Use a set of modified Lone Wolf sticks with aiders, 3 or 4 sections, based on the situation. And if necessary, will hunt off the ground.

    If you know, you know

    You haven’t lived until you’ve gone from 25ft up a pine tree to ground level in 0.25 seconds with your boots strapped to the platform of one of those. Lol

    Worth a listen..this one hit home.

    If you listen to this interview about his music, he states just that - that he's talking about both sides of the aisle. In fact, he even says that, politically, he falls right down the center. This video gives his own perspective on his music and personal journey in life, which I found more...

    Hunting Clothes and scent control

    Attention to detail certainly makes a big difference, especially with bow hunting. After nearly 40 years of chasing pressured whitetails that get hunted roughly 4 months out of the year, I personally think the best thing you can do is learn how to hunt the wind. And by that I don't just mean...

    big green egg

    Best advice I can give you is learn to regulate the temp before you attempt any big cooks (ribs, brisket, etc.). It's crazy easy to get it very hot, and much easier to get it hot than to cool it down. Learn the basics of building the fire, setting the vents, etc. The beauty of the Egg, and other...

    Picked up a 6.5 Creedmoor, ammo?

    The Federal Nontypical 140gr is the easy button if you're looking for inexpensive, accuracy, and a good bullet on game. I got several boxes a few years ago when Federal was running a rebate and the local shop had a sale. I ended up getting loaded ammo cheaper than I could buy brass at the time...

    My nephew Ashton's buck...

    I can't tell you how many times I've gone back and looked at the original post or shared it with someone. With all the things we can debate, or sometimes argue, about the state of hunting today, this is a good reminder of what it should be about. A kid enthralled with hunting, enjoying what...

    To many pesky deer

    To the "draconian" restrictions comment, maybe you misunderstood me, or I you, and if so, my apologies. My comment was in regard to the "QDM" mindset in terms of shooting only big bucks, and if a club member, lease member, or guest made a "mistake" and took a buck that didn't meet the standards...

    To many pesky deer

    As mentioned above, access is/has been the issue in my locale. When all the cool kids jumped on the QDM bandwagon, land prices shot up, and people wanted to protect their "shooter" bucks. This led to a spike in lease prices for private land, fewer individuals "managing" (using that term very...

    Beretta warranty

    Had a similar issue with a Beretta that kept splitting the wood forearm. First trip to Beretta they tried to tell me I was tightening the magazine cap too tight and splitting the wood. The next trip they blamed it on shooting 3" magnum loads - albeit what the gun was designed for. Only an...

    Tennessee Turkeys

    First, I take no issues with NR hunters, as I’m one myself in several states. But the TWRC as mentioned previously in this thread is not listening to their constituents and is using an unstable to declining resource as a revenue tool, at the expenses of hunters and the resource. That should...

    How many days do you rifle hunt specifically for deer in your home state?

    Probably skewing the results being in the Southeast hunting whitetails in a state with a 3 month long season and sometimes hunting a neighboring state with a 4 month long season. Seasons in both areas of my home and neighboring state are either sex during that entire time period, 3 does a day...

    Selfishness and Hunting, Meet Matt Rinella and Tag Allocations

    Is it “selfish” if the motivations of Hunter A also include doing these things to protect the resource from an over abundance of pressure or higher than intended harvest? Personally, I don’t feel it’s selfish - I feel Hunter A is adapting to the realities of the current environment and acting...
