Please don't say that. They will come, bomb an area with "aggressive tactics" while showing their spots, then leave it in a shambles for crowds to come to after they see the vids. The pros bounce from place to place all season, so they have no reason to be cautious and make it last because they have multiple tags across multiple states. A spot that is tough enough to hunt suddenly becomes tougher.Would love to see the pros do it here!
Aint gonna happen.Would love to see the pros do it here!
Agree! Too much work and a low success rate for horn porn. It's much easier and more profitable for their sponsors to pay 10 grand for them to kill a stud at some big fancy ranch or hunting preserve.Aint gonna happen.
How many people are going to pack a deer out 2 miles out of a mountain Laurel hell hole? I say come try it.Please don't say that.

I'm impressed by what many of them can do, but I don't want them doing it in an area that I hunt
Man, I'm learning that.There is no tougher hunt. And if your not use to it it'll whoop you. But it's impossible to get use to unless your in your prime and do it often to stay in shape. There's bigger and more deer the farther west you go and it also gets a little flatter. If you really want to work hard for one. You've found the area
Sounds like anywhere in Appalachia/the Alleghenies is pretty darn tough.
This guy in West Virginia seems to have it figured out.
Congrats on your buck! You will learn quickly how mountain shape you area. Unicoi has some of the roughest terrain in the area. I've been with guys taking 3-5 hours to get a deer out of the wrong holler.I just got back from a two day hunt in the mountains of Unicoi. I consider myself to be in decent shape and I feel absolutely whooped. My entire body is sore like I just completed a spartan beast race but it was all worth it. I ended up with a decent size 8pt that took me almost 3hrs to pack out. To me I enjoy the challenge and the reward is great even if it isn't the biggest buck I have ever taken. It makes me feel like more of hunter when I am able to harvest one of those mountain deer that just seem more wild to me then the ones at the farm
They couldn'tWould love to see the pros do it here!
