[QUOTE="Madbowh, post: 5132920, member: 21149"] I think from 75 in Athens following the highway to 81 split everything from there to NC is tough your searching for sign. If you look at South Cherokee around Tellico plains there has always been a2 buck limit that opened 2 weeks before statewide archery up until 2 years ago now its 1 buck. I've hunted hard in this area for 12 years and gave up last year, now I seen a couple massive old bucks one at 20 yards I first noticed him directly under me then he skirted around me for over an hour never would get in a clearing(foothills wma early oct) never seen that buck again. The others I worked really hard to get at had an eight and 10 point sparring hard first day of bow season the 10pt came within 5 yards but was on the move and couldn't get a shot never seen him again the 8 would pop up sometimes but always in a different spot. Now I only hunt from just past roughly Rockwood mountain west. I do like north Cumberland for gun occasionally but I'm putting miles on in there, but it's open I wonder a lot in there and sometimes come up good. I think they are free and far between in a lot of spots. Now private property would be possibly worth looking in some areas but I'm done with public land in East TN. all I hunt is public and come out with shine nice ones they are around [/QUOTE]
