Is TWRA Leasing Part of The North Cumberland?

[Joe2Kool]

Heard today that TWRA had leased part of the North Cumberland WMA to National Land Realtors and they were leasing hunting rights. Source also said someone tried to run him off last weekend.

I did a quick search and came up with nothing. Looked on TWRA website and also came up empty. Searched on TNDeer and didn't find anything. Anyone else heard this rumor?

It looks like they might have property in that area, but not owned by the state?

Sounds like someone is trying to run people off public lands or someone got turned around and wasn't where they thought they were

There are bits and pieces of private land all around, just inside the borders of North Cumberland WMA. Just a few examples below. My advice is to get an ONX subscription and use it when afield. The non shaded areas are private. Zoom in further and get owner info.

Thanks for the responses guys. I agree with them.
According to my Onx, the area in question is State of TN.
Gonna keep huntin it!

I had a couple locals tell me onx and the government sites were wrong about what was public. This was by the coal wash up Indian fork rd. They pretty much claimed the whole area and strongly suggested I go somewhere else. I didn't feel like making a bad situation worse at the time.

Onx is not a legal representation and can be wrong in many many cases so I wouldn't use that alone to determine if I was legal or not.

OnX shows my farm belonging to someone that doesn't even own property in the area.

Is it correct at the courthouse and tn property data site?

Is it correct at the courthouse and tn property data site?

the last time i used onx it was exactly the same as tn property viewer. it was off the survey stakes by 27ft.

I am aware of some private land in that area. Many years ago, it was behind a locked gate.

I've had instances where Onx wasn't exactly correct. The area in question has been marked with WMA signs since TWRA acquired the property.
