I've looked online and 127 have been checked in, 73 antlered. Curious if anyone on here has had any luck.
 
I killed a small 8 pt this morning on the gun side. Saw nothing but small bucks the last 2 days, a spike, a 4 point and a 5 point. Never saw the 1st doe.
 
I saw 11 yesterday on the gun side (two small bucks - 4pt and 3 pt, rest does). Only saw two does this morning. Came back to middle TN after morning hunt. Just too darn hot!
 
A guy in our party killed a decent 8 pt this morning. I seen 1 doe this morning and 2 doe and a deer, don't know sex, yesteeday. At checking station this afternoon checking his deer in there was 64 bucks and 30 does yesterday and when I was there 7 bucks and 7 does this morning. But there were a few does and a couple really small bucks while we were being processed.

Any pictures of the 8 pointer?

Just curious but what area did you hunt?

I didn't get a pic, my dad did. I'll try to get one from him. It wasn't huge but wasn't a bad deer either. It was 2.5 yr and weighed 124 lb.

I was in gun zone behind k25 on nature trail up at the top of that road

we were on our way to windrock Saturday morning, passed 2 trucks parked on the side of the road and then I had to hit the brakes. Nice 8 point walking across the road. I could see the 2 trucks in my mirror and 2 more trucks parked just up the road on the other side. Guess they should of hunted close to the main road.
 
I hunted hard also and only saw one deer. Saturday morning at 10:10 I heard one running toward me and then a loud crash in the leaves. I knew someone had shot one and it fell over about 75 yards from me. When I came out to see what it was, I was blown away it was a huge 8 pointer. I got a picture on my phone but don't know how to download it. I will try later.
 
Okay, Here it is.

I killed a 91lb spike. Just little nubs. It ran in with a yearling and I thought it was the Mom. Never even looked at the head. 25 yard shot with muzzleloader. Didn't hunt anymore. That was the sixth deer I saw. A few passed below quickly and I didn't see horns. So my guess is most of what I saw were does.
 
Here's my monster! Some may have seen it on facebook but I messed my knee up on the way into the woods. Even dragging down the ridge didn't feel good. MRI next Tuesday.
