[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 4447002, member: 1409"] Over the years, I've noticed another "distinction" between those who generally deer hunt this particular WMA vs. many of the WMA's farther West in Middle & West TN: Sometimes it seems a minority of the Oak Ridge deer hunters use tree stands. A much higher percentage of them are "walkers", hunting on the ground, and they cover more ground, so there is a lot more "seeing" of other hunters relative to the hunter density there, at least vs. many other WMA's. I believe the reason there's more ground or "stalk" hunters is two-fold: 1) A lack of scouting opportunities prior to the limited hunting opportunities ---- many are actually "scouting" (by stalk hunting) during the hunts. 2) Relatively fewer East TN hunters use tree stands (compared to West TN hunters) as East TN hunters are more accustomed to more mountainous terrain where tree stands are less useful, and much more walking is typically involved. The majority of those applying for the OR hunts will be from farther East TN. [/QUOTE]
