Forks of the river Knoxville

Reckon us dove wannabe hunters ruined somebody's hunt this morning, sorry never dreamed anybody might set up in the middle of the field, have only seen 1 deer in the open fields during daylight in the last 30 some odd year I been hunting there.
I have hunted Forks of the River a couple of times. The first time I hunted there I went in on the main entrance. I had people walking through the woods. I had bike riders. I moved into some of the roughest clear cut I have ever been in and dang near shot a dog. I probably would have had I not seen a flash of color following it. Dog was running loose and owners were just following behind it.
Second time I went in on the opposite end hoping to get away from all of this invasion. Sadly this did not work. I had walkers,runners, dogs, and bike riders.
I made a phone call and talked to the Game Officer in charge of this and let him know I was pizzed.
The past couple of seasons the officers have let it be know that bikers,hikers, and dogs must stay on the perimeter walkway.
For anyone hunting FOR I would try the far end entrance. Go a mile or so to a trail marker and go left and pick a place to hunt from there. Yes I have seen a couple deer in this area.

Houses and people are now right up on lots of public land now. Wasn't that way a few years ago. Way I see it is eventually they will get rid of the hunting opportunities at these places. Cause the big mouths moving in will call the right people. They won't stop till they get what they want trust me. I hope it never happens. I hope they will get out in theirs place if the try.
