If anyone here knows someone that hunts Natchez Trace and takes an ATV with them, ask them if they've got their $2,500 fine money saved up if they take them off the maintained roads. There seems to be some hunters that can't read. I've made it my business to be an unpaid Nark of epic proportions when it comes to this. If you can't physically get a deer out with your back, don't shoot it. There isn't a road that is open that requires an ATV. Grow up and follow the rules or pay the fine. It's that simple. I understand there is a designated ATV area somewhere on the south side of I-40. If you can't stand the thought of deer hunting without using your ATV, hunt down on the ATV course.

To those with disabilities, this was not aimed at you.

Any time I'm hunting public land, WMA, whatever, I ALWAYS make sure I'm parked at least an hour before I plan to walk in.
Not just parked, but have my tree stand sitting ready to strap on, pack ready, weapon ready.
At the first hint of a headlight, I'm a vapor trail.

Almost every time, I'm in there first.

Sleepy, but first.
