New poster, and I live in the Northwest corner of AL about 30 mins from the TN state line. To put it quite frankly, my deer hunting experience in this part of the state over the last 5 years has been miserable. Tired of the ridiculously liberal hunting season and harvest laws, the outlaw hunters, the over-hunted and over-pressured deer, and decreasing deer population on the land I am able to hunt here.
I may be guilty of thinking the grass is greener across the state line, so to speak, but it sure seems like TN has done a much better job of managing it's deer herd and provides a much better opportunity to harvest a deer than my state has done. Almost all my friends who hunt and consistently see deer and harvest a quality buck every year hunt in TN.
So with all that being said, can any of you provide insight or advice on what the deer hunting is like in the southern part of what y'all call Unit L? Any good public lands to hunt? What is the process of being able to hunt deer in TN for a non-resident? Is it worth the money, time, etc compared to hunting here in Alabama? How to possibly find a club to get into?
