[QUOTE="bowriter, post: 3758560, member: 1518"] You will have plenty of company if you hunt there during gun season. For several years, I both hunted and guided on Cheatham. many of the best spots are overlooked because they are "too close to the road". I had great luck there, not only in killing numbers of deer but in killing some of the better bucks killed there. I quit hunting there when my hunting duties kept me on the road all through the season and have not been there in about 10-years. However, I am sure of one thing. If you can't see the cars, you have gone too far. Cheatham does not get the pressure it once did. At one time, I have seen as many as 300+ hunters there on a three-day hunt. That was the key to killing deer. As the hunters left the woods, the deer got and moved-crossing roads. A hunter in a stand near a road, if he was patient, often got multiple shot chances. I had stand sites all over the area. Most were productive, few had any other hunter pressure. All but a very few were within 150-yards of the roads...just where the hunters were not. None were anywhere near food plots or any of the places most hunters concentrated around. Give that some thought. [/QUOTE]
