[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5746697, member: 1409"] For[I] YOU[/I], Area 14 is unquestionably the best area you could be hunting. Personally, I'm as happy with any particular area over any other, as each is overall more similar than different. The "best" area is whichever one you are most familiar. You can expect a high level of hunter participation on this particular hunt. No matter anything else, it precedes most other quota hunts statewide, and it is on a weekend when adults have essentially no where else to hunt. This is the TN statewide juvenile weekend when adults cannot hunt. Consequently, the majority of those who will be hunting LBL this weekend are avid & accomplished hunters. Most will show up. Be a fluke if there's any breeding done this weekend, as it's just too early before the rut really gets cranking. I suspect most bucks will simply be feeding on acorns, if in an area not disturbed, otherwise, they will just be laying up in some area they've been pushed into. All the day-before "scouting" and hunters placing stands will move them into whatever areas are least disturbed. These areas will not necessarily be remote, as many will be within 100 yds of a blacktop road. Just wherever no human walks thru the day before. "Scouting" often puts more pressure on these deer than the actual "hunting". Good Plan. Except the water is probably of no relevance. I've many times seen the most dense hunting pressure be in some of the most remoted areas on these quota hunts. Seems many the most avid hunters will study their maps, then they all come in from every direction to only meet in the middle, so to speak. There area very few areas with LBL where you are not within a mile of a road coming from the opposite direction from where you enter. This simply is not a true wilderness area like the Cherokee National Forest. [/QUOTE]
