You are absolutely correct.. that's exactly what I was implying to others about deer in my area.. it applies to turks to... With the time I have to spend and the knowledge of those areas in Montana I would say my chances are very slim.. that's why I am talking of it on these different chat...- jjhill

If your implying that I would be alone on NF , how would that be spot burn..? If I were to run into others, first I would attempt to talk with them.. if that fails, I would get on the apps and move.. like I said,, no public place is secret . Some are harder to get to which could reduce pressure...- jjhill

I have hunted Tennessee since early 90's . I have seen pressure grow over the years.. myself and many others have adapted to it.. one plus to Tennessee is the ability to move miles or county's.. utilize this.. it is not possible where I live.. you get a county permit, you got to stay in that...- jjhill

No such thing as" spot burn " with today's apps... If you think your public hunt area is secret you would be totally wrong- jjhill

I can tell you the answer to that.. I have hunted Tennessee since early 90's .. the pressure has grown a lot over the years down there but like all hunting if you put time in and learn you still can be consistent..as for deer,, I don't hunt Tennessee,no reason to...if you ever want to bow hunt...- jjhill

I honestly believe that you can not put your finger on a map on public ground here in Illinois and not find a great mature buck.. with the apps that are available there are no " spots " it's all good for deer.. but getting them is a different story..- jjhill

Really aren't any secret spots,, with onx and other apps available.. the biggest difference is that I live here.. it takes time to understand an area, or...- jjhill
