I'm covering about 600 miles roundtrip of I-40 between Wed 8-29 and Wed 9-5. I have some dove hunting planned in there, but also intend to make stops in there for squirrel hunting, possibly early season duck along the way.
If anyone wants to connect along the way, here is what I have. Open availability is in bold. I'm not necessarily looking for bag limits, just hitting different spots, hunting with different folks, and eating game meat the whole time. Shotguns or .22s, it can be your call.
Wed 8-29, am: Squirrel. Hatchie. Could use a partner
Wed 8-29, pm: Squirrel. Percy Priest
Thur 8-30, am: Squirrel. Private land, Nashville
Thur 8-30, pm: Squirrel. private land, Crossville
Fri 8 -31, am: Not sure yet
Fri 8-31 pm: Squirrel. Catoosa.
Sat 9-1: Dove. Cookeville TN
Sun 9-2: Dove. Cookeville TN
Mon 9-3: Dove. Cookeville TN
Tue 9-4 pm: Nashville area for a duck, dove or squirrel PM hunt?
Wed 9-5 pm: Nashville area or anywhere between Nashville and Memphis, PM duck, dove or squirrel hunt?

Sounds like fun, Good luck. None of the dates are good for me because of work and a Newborn at home, but wouldnt mind squirrel hunting and learning a few cooking and game cleaning tips one day with you.

"not sure yet"= not sure I'm making it to the woods after the night before.
Sounds like a great trip. I hope to have a deer down (or 2) before your done with that run.

On your Sept. 4 & 5 hunts I recommend both for duck in New Johnsonville, TN. I got family there and it sits on Kentucky Lake. Best waterfowl hunting besides reelfoot. Its just hour west from Nashville. I think you take I-40 to Dixon. Then follow the signs.

I'll have to get back to you on the dove hunting. I'm hunting there as a guest, so I'm not necessarily in control of the situation. But I will feel it out.

Is it lake hunting? How difficult would it be for me to just roll in there and hunt without a boat etc?
