[QUOTE="MidTnBuck, post: 5742627, member: 23895"] I was born and raised hunting the mountains in Cosby. Parents still live there on our family land. It's steep as a horses face and a man could see and shoot 10 bears before he ever saw a deer in most parts. Depends on what section of Cosby y'all are huntin to be honest, if your close to English mountain the hunting is a little better but still tough. If your hunting closer to my side which is the Hartford area its rough and higher elevations, LOTS of territory with the NF bordering most sections of private land in that area. Pittman Center side of Cosby is similar to Hartford side but lots of National Park land. Most people say hunt acorn's but we have so many mature oak trees it would take you the entire trip to find the "Hot" tree. If it were me I'd hunt where the top of the valley meets the ridges or wherever the creek water gets the skinniest. There is no good way to hunt the wind in this type of territory but a general rule of thumb for us was hunt up in the morning but below the laurel thickets. It will be rifle season so I honestly wouldn't fool with luggin a treestand all over if you're in the PC or Hartford area. Most of the boys that hunt at home still hunt that time of year. Generally Thanksgiving is a good time to be in the mountain and if you see a buck it's liable to be a good one. If you need anymore info or someone to help y'all get one outta there shoot me a PM.
