[QUOTE="Kirk, post: 5151900, member: 967"] When I first started hunting back in mid 1970's, South Cherokee was one of a hand full of places around Cleveland TN that had a deer season and held any deer. My Dad and I hunted the Ocoee region of SCNF from mid 70's to mid 90's. As the deer were reestablished in the foot hills and valleys of East Tennessee the pressure on South Cherokee dropped significantly. I can honestly say I saw far more bears and hogs than I ever did deer. I was bluff charged by a bear at Dutch Settlements and that was one of the most invigorating feelings I have ever had. 50/50 terror and relief it didn't eat me. It was a far more thrilling hunt than the ones I do now. Coming down out of those mountains, working my way down those winding roads, well after dark, brought a feeling of real accomplishment.
