How would you burn 11 TWRA BG priority points? (next year)
If you could no longer shoot a bow?

Get a crossbow and head west.
I have a crossbow. That is how I got 11 priority point applying for PI.
Turned 65 and have medical issues with shooting a bow and crossbow.
Anyone need a used Excaliber?

Sorry to hear about that, I guess I wouldn't worry about them points in that case.
I could put in for PI, get it and burn it by staying home?
to use the points, but I would not want someone to do that to me.
I have a lifetime sportsman so getting points is free.
If my best chose is Catoosa, I would rather get that for a sure thing and go.
If that is my best hunt available. I should get whatever I put in for besides PI.
I want to take a mature whitetail.
What would you do?

Can you shoot a rifle?
Is the limit for crossbow cocking the bow?

I have a crossbow with the crank and narrow limbs you could use anytime you want if that would help.
I can shoot a rifle and muzzleloader.
I have had to go down in Caliber though.
Last time I shot a 12 gauge slug gun, It was $202,000 to replace 10" of rods in the middle of my back. I only have 6 vertebra in my neck that are not fused and I want to keep them that way.
I cannot twist or bend my body and my neck movement is limited. So getting in position with a bow or crossbow is a lot harder than a firearm.

Man, that's tough. If it were me at 11 points, I'd go to PI anyways. It's a once in a lifetime hunt these days. Would be worth it just to see the deer.
Then in a year or so you can pretty much draw any other TN quota hunt you want with a few points.
Arent crossbows legal in the PI. Hunt?
With 11pts I wouldn't be to concerned about getting drawn in the next 3-4 years.

I'd go oak ridge.
IF you think you will be able to actually hunt 5 to 6 years from now, id go PI with a crossbow. You CAN hunt those bucks from the ground.

I'd buy a Hickory Creek mini vertical crossbow and rock on! Look in to it.

Yuchi refuge would be a good one
I did hunt Yuchi twice before once Turkey and once rifle for deer. (20 years ago)
I have been thinking about going back.
I found a deer 9 point and saw a few bucks.
Most of the people only hunted the first day.
After that few if any hunters.
