[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5784137, member: 1409"] A very fast growing segment of accomplished & avid TN deer hunters are doing exactly this, although many are choosing many other states, not just KY for deer or AR for ducks. Middlemen leasing agents accelerated this process with high lease prices on mediocre TN deer-hunting tracts. The dirty little secret is that many other states' public lands offer a better opportunity for a 150-plus-class whitetail than most of TN's best-managed large acreage private hunting lands. This would include the 18,000-acrea Ames Plantation, which has produced how many bucks over 150 in the past 15 years of "intense trophy buck management"? And I don't mean to sound like I'm picking on or disparaging Ames, as am just stating this to point out the reality you cannot grow a 150-class buck behind every tree on mediocre lands in TN, when it can't even be done at such a fabulous place as Ames.
