I do believe your plan will work to get hunter participation up at Cheatam! Posting it's crawling with big deer on an internet forum should be just what the doctor ordered if they go non quota. I love to hunt big deer and Do a lot of traveling. Cheatam will now be on my list of places to try when they drop the quotas. Not being managed properly but crawling with big deer? I can't wait to try it out if you get this passed!So I've hunted the placed for a quarter century.
The belief that it is over hunted is a fallacy.
The place is crawling with BIG deer.
The place is not being managed properly.
The commission rarely listens to the people. They are just another tone deaf group of folks in the government.
Anyways, I clearly have much better ideas on how to increase hunter participation. Remember this is the rationale they have told us for the quota hunts. They have been approached with them many times in the past, they don't listen.
Back in the early 90's was hauling logs. Not sure what it was about the cut pine. But always seen the biggest bucks. Always around that cut timber. You would think with all that noise, they would run. No come right to it, like a kid wanting to know whats happening.I like the quota hunts, I think it will improve the quality of hunting here. What I'm not a fan of is the logging that was going on when I showed up Friday. Scouted this spot all year. came back to check on it last week and all was fine. It sucks that he started logging the week of the quota hunts beginning.
Some of the WMAs might not have enough deer to support being open same as the season. That said I would favor expanding the quota hunts to a week long hunt. That might give a Hunter some relief from weather conditions such as we experienced the last several days.No bro, they should remove the quotas and let the place be open with statewide. Always a funny guy out there!
Its being mismanaged AND it has big deer crawling all over it?So I've hunted the placed for a quarter century.

So the Cheatham WMA is almost 22k acres, it is located smack dab in the middle of Unit L.Some of the WMAs might not have enough deer to support being open same as the season.

Yes, you clearly don't know the history of the place.Its being mismanaged AND it has big deer crawling all over it?
Once again, I'd love to discuss the issues, but you may not be able to do thatYes, you clearly don't know the history of the place.

It was managed that way for years and it was ok.Cheatham wide open statewide would turn into a gar hole like Turkey hunting has become. Too close to Nashville to be wide open with all roads open.

The combination of its proximity to Nashville and people blabbing about how good it is online would likely lead to overcrowded conditions IMO.It was managed that way for years and it was ok.
This assumption that it would be overwhelming is a fallacy.
