[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5471185, member: 7419"] I have no idea where you are moving, but there is land in the Nashville area that you can access. Some do have weapons restrictions, so read the regs for that WMA. There is an interactive map on the TWRA website and you can look at each WMA and get the regs there. From what you've said, I assume you have never killed a deer. If I were you, I'd shoot anything without spots that walks by. On Public, some people pass bucks, but that is generally because they have private spots and they are going to focus their buck hunting there. If meat is your goal a young buck will eat the same as a doe. There are deer, and there are hunters. You will probably encounter both. The opening weekend will be the worst for traffic and as the season wears on, it will dissipate. Find thick stuff where the other hunters aren't if you can. Also from your post. I do not know if you have a tree stand. If not, I see you sat in a blind. You do not need a ground blind necessarily, but it may help with movement. If you can sit relatively still you can just sit at the base of a tree. I like move the leaves out so I can shift my feet to get into position without rustling the leaves. [/QUOTE]
