[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 4572106, member: 131"] I am not one to be negative, but my honest opinion is it's usually not that great of a hunt for several reasons: 1. Typically, the birds have been pressured, spooked, shot at and killed by then. Assuming the first hunts went on as planned and were not affected by flood waters. 2. The foliage and mosquitoes will be thicker than hair on a dogs azz. 3. Temps and moccasin activity are on the uptick by then, we are in the SW corner of the state. Weather more akin to MS than north central TN. 4. Later in the spring it gets, higher probability for a MS River flood to bust out of it's banks, impacting access, and possibly requiring a boat. With all of that said, you could still go out there and kill a bird on the 4th hunt. I have hunted the last hunt one time, and SEVERAL of my buds have drawn the last hunt over the last decade, with very few kills and very little good to say about their experience. Best of luck, and hit me up if you come this way as you will be an hour from my house tops. [/QUOTE]
