I have only hunted here in the Eastern part of Middle Tn but I may make the trip east this year to hunt with a friend I have made through Xbox last year that lives in Sevier county. He just bought a tract up on a mountain and invited me to come over. I hope to be able to.

Let's see, thousands of feet of mountain with lots of mature timber... Not only no, but HELL no!

I usually go bear hunting in Cherokee every year although I missed last year. Chase dogs until worn out, then hit the rivers for trout. Nice way to spend a few days and sometimes we drag a bear out of the mountains.

Yep.... You can sit in a stand for more than 10 days in a row in the mountains of E. TN and not see a deer. For me it's all about the challenge..........
No. when I was younger I thought it would be fun to hunt the mountains, but now not so much.
I'll be honest, I'd probably still like the experience, but not the lack of deer.

They can get old in the ruff terrain for sure.
I don't know why everybody thinks East Tn is so bad - I love hunting here- I've seen some absolute giants come out of this side of the state - yeah sure the numbers ain't nothing like some places but that doesn't take away from the fact that the hunting here is great - I hope nobody comes to east tn and hunts - that suits me just fine -

Deer hunting in East Tennessee is like apples to oranges vs. Middle and West Tennessee. With that said there is plenty of deer hunting to be done in East Tennessee whether it�s on WMA�s, leases or private farms. Of course the most furthest and extreme eastern part of Tennessee serves up some of the most challenging hunting in the state due to terrain and deer density�s. However the geography between the Cumberland Plateau and the extreme mountains of Tennessee that consist of river bottoms and fertile rolling farms can be rewarding for deer kills and many deer sightings. Many west Tennessee folks imagine all of east Tennessee�s geography to be all mountains! JK! I mostly hunt private farms in East Tennessee, some WMA's when drawn and have no short lacking of deer sightings and kills. I�ve hunted on WMA 's in the middle and Western portions of the state with success as well and have enjoyed every bit of it!
I'd love to hunt East Tn just for change of scenery. Killing a deer is just a bonus. I'd love to hunt the beautiful mountains of East Tn. As long as i don't see any hats with a T on them i'd be good
