[QUOTE="Shanman, post: 5510968, member: 4101"] As mentioned, welcome to East Tennessee deer hunting. Places you've mentioned above have some huge ridges and big timber, not to mention heavy pressure close to access roads and trails. Number one thing is to scout, scout, scout. Us the rest of this season to still hunt and scout for next season. Right now it's easy to find rubs, old scrapes, feeding sign, and trails that are being used. Go deeper in than the average Joe, focus on edges of the thick stuff, USE topos, LEARN about air currents and thermals. Hunting Public and Dan Infalt have many good youtube videos on air currents and thermals, also how to hunt them. The top of those hardwood ridges might look pretty and be full of night time rubs and scrapes, but the thick stuff down off over the leeward side of the ridge will hold the daytime deer. Will take you a few seasons to educate yourself but you'll figure it out and have more success. Just my 2cents, good luck. [/QUOTE]
