[QUOTE="Jack12, post: 5471101, member: 23061"] Well, kinda first time. Ive sat in a blind a couple times down in Texas, but we didn't see any. I'm more familiar with bird hunting, though considering I moved to middle TN, figured I would enjoy becoming more involved in deer game. I am patiently awaiting gun season, as I do not have a bow (that will be next years big purchase), but I have a few questions I'm hoping the men and women here would be able to help answer: - It looks like I will only have access to public land. Do those pieces of land typically hold a large amount of hunters? Im happy to walk in as deep as needed, though I don't want to disturb anyone elses hunt as I'm scouting, walking, hunting, etc. - Maybe more nuanced, but my deer hunting friends in Texas say they will hold off on taking deer -- and this seems pretty common among deer hunters. Given Middle Tennessee's great population of deer, and considering I will be on public land, if I were to pass on a deer, there isn't really a guarantee that somebody else wont take it? Im trying to understand the best practice for this part of the country's view on taking or passing on game. - The third question is any general advice some of you vets may have. I have been reading and talking to others about their experiences, and I feel comfortable about the process of hunting deer, but anything that may be specific to Middle TN (and the public land here) is greatly appreciated. Apologies for the long post. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
