[QUOTE="wardamn93, post: 5510436, member: 23385"] Getting desperate here. Originally from Alabama and this is my first season of deer (rifle) hunting in East TN so it has all been public land (Sundquist, New River and Royal Blue units and some TVA land). A couple weeks ago I walked up on a huge black bear. Yesterday and today I have been covered in elk (20 miles from where I was yesterday on the other side of 75). I know they aren’t running as hard right now, but never seen a drought like this especially during “second phase”. Maybe running into bear and elk is common around here, just not something I’ve ever experienced. At this point, I’m not even worried about getting a trophy (of course it would be my preference), but mostly to pack the freezer. I am using my climber stand. I’ve tried all my usual “go-to’s” on field edges, pinch points, etc. Side note, I do not have an atv, but I have a truck with 4x4. Not looking to steal anyone’s hot spots, just curious to know if anyone else has been dealing with the same. Maybe I’m just not used to having to work so hard for a deer up here Lol. Any advice is much appreciated in advance! [/QUOTE]
