    TN Turkey Fun!

    Yes sir! I want to say it was dumb luck, but I really think it was a culmination of all the work that came before (plus dumb luck...maybe). If someone had made a video of me trying to field dress that turkey while I was watching videos on my phone to learn what I needed to do at the same time...

    Man, I agree. It was a moment I will never forget, and hopefully he won't either.

    Stalking out turkey

    Congrats on starting your turkey hunting! I first started turkey hunting in 2021 and have harvested 4 birds thus far. I love it. Here is my 2 cents for what it's worth. Piggy-backing on what others have said, it is totally different in Fall vs. Spring. I am blessed to have access to hunt a...

    TN Turkey Fun!

    Hey all, I wanted to share a hunt story from a while back—my #3 turkey hunt ever. I’ll count down to #1 if there’s interest. Hope you enjoy it! I grew up fishing and roaming the woods in Middle Tennessee but never hunted. With lockdowns in place during 2020, I decided to learn—starting with...

    My Son's First Deer(s) - 2024

    I'm too new to the hunting world to truly understand the dislike of the 6.5 Creedmoor. I understand you probably shouldn't try for an elk or larger game with it, but at my whitetail range back home, it seems to be working just fine. As for the crossbow vs. bow situation, I understand, I...

    My Son's First Deer(s) - 2024

    Ha! You got me sir! In all fairness, I was planning to get him a .243, but they didn't have any at my local store, so I bought the 6.5 they had in stock. I would never use it past 100 yards on whitetails in my area knowing what I know now. BUT...it killed that does and a buck he got a few...

    Thank you! I have been playing with a crossbow, but I also have a compound I bought used from a cousin...I'm thinking I might move straight to that so I can avoid the crossbow hate :)

    My Son's First Deer(s) - 2024

    Hey everyone! I'm pretty new here. I want to share with you a great story, probably one of the top 10 days of my life! We are from Middle Tennessee, West of Nashville. I am 44 years old and have only been deer hunting since 2021 (grew up around it, dad never did it, therefore I never...

    Hey everyone. After re-reading this thread and some PMs, I've realized I may have mis-stepped by asking for unit info right out of the gate. It was never my intention to come to this forum and take knowledge without giving back....I think I just got too excited. I appreciate all the...

    For sure, thank you. I've been looking at that atlas a bit already. What would you consider warm vs cold for that area? I see the summer vs winter layers on that atlas, and when we go, the averages in that area are low 30's (night) to high 60's (day). Being from TN, I would not consider...

    Thanks! I will definitely start putting up some TN whitetail and turkey stories here and be happy to talk with folks. I've had some decent success in the past several years.

    Wooooeee...quite the range of responses 😆! I appreciate the positive responses. I definitely plan to put in more work scouting and training, not just ask basic questions on forums and hope that gets me there. I will check out the Elk class for sure. And good tips on the altitude change. I will...
