[BubbaGoneWild]

Welp I got the email last nite that they're canceled again this year. 2 years in a row I've been drawed and they get canceled. So stupid. There is no being around anybody out there unless you are at the check station so all they had to say Is if you come to the check station please wear your mask. BOOM problem solved ya idiots

There is more to it than people realize. I know people think it's dumb but there is more to the story.

Go on then lol don't be shy let's hear it.

There's something up. For us East Tennessee dwellers those are the premier hunts in the area. It's very unfortunate..

On the bright side, that stud that jumped my string the last time we could hunt it is probably 160+ now.

I have a buddy that works out there and they find huge sheds and dead heads all the time. Found one back in the summer that was in the 170s ill get pics and post. He said there's one in the same area that's bigger.

DOE doesn't want public on property, bottom line. They care nothing about the hunts

If that was the case then why have the draw?

Yet they still let the hikers and bicycle riders run on a bunch of land they control, I suspect those propertys will be turned over soon so they don't have to deal with it. when they closed Bethel Valley to traffic the number of deer/car accidents declined, add in the tree huggers that hate hunting and it is doomed for future hunts imo. But be some big arse deer if they do have the hunt again lol. hope I aint crippled up so bad I cant hunt it, building points and may end up at PI in 15-20 years lol

Hmmmm based on y'all's comments I just may have to put in for a hunt in oak ridge lol. That's if they have another one, shoot it's only down the road from me… EVEN BETTER!!

 

[ljhhunt3]

I work here and it's because of Covid. You pretty much have to be vaccinated to be on the property. I do not agree with the situation but that is the answer.

 

[mike243]

So let the ones who are vaccinated hunt is my thoughts lol

 

[akachuck]

What area of oak ridge is the hunt? Mark on a Google map please?

 

[Kirk]

Probably 35-40 years ago, when they first opened Oak Ridge to quota hunts it was wort of like PI. There were some real studs that came out of there.

 

[TDW05]

The deer aren't vaccinated…..how is that gonna work? Kick them out?

I have 12 points now and have been waiting on PI for the second time. My first hunt there was in the prime and a great hunt.
Since the island has done down hill Oak Ridge might be an option at a really good deer since it won't be hunted at all for 2 years.
Got 10 months to think about it.

I'm in the same boat. I will see how this next hunt goes at PI and make my decision for next year.
