My wife and i got picked after a few years of putting in. She has never killed a deer with a bow in 5 years of hunting. Can we expect to see alot of deer. Any info would help.

No need to be down. There are several places there that have plenty of deer. The tower shielding unit is a different story though. #'s haven't been to good from there but potential for a deer and a good deer still exist.

There are plenty of deer in Oak Ridge, and some really good bucks to boot! Tower Shielding is fenced on 3 sides and backs up to the lake on the other. These hunts are a good opportunity to kill a deer for sure!

You should be, for anybody willing to scout and hunt its a really good opportunity!!! Some super bucks are killed on these hunts every year and many people still consider O.R. as good a place as there is in East TN to kill a good buck!

Still waiting to kill my first deer so I will be happy to just have an oppurtunity at a doe. Have been hunting Royal Blue for the last three years, have come to the conclusion anywhere is better than there,(although I do love hunting there).
