[QUOTE="Okatoba, post: 3869789, member: 15632"] I don't live there and haven't hunted there except a bear/hog hunt at Tellico last year but just a general feeling from what I read on here and what I saw in the woods last year, why is East Tn. so far behind the rest of the State in deer numbers? I know that Middle and West can support more deer per sq. mile but is it that much worse? Deer were never totally eradicated from there,and remained in pockets on the plateau and mtns. and a lot of stocking when on there in the restoration years. The stocking has been over for..what.. 20 years now? It's like the east is stuck in the 1970's deer number wise. On that bear hunt I was in the woods all day for 4 days in all kinda of places from clear cuts to big wood to laurel and rhododendron thickets on the creeks and never saw one deer track,horn rub or pile of poop,not 1. Every November I see trucks with Blount,Sevier, Louden Hawkins and other east side tags heading west through Wilson Co. Is it really as bad as it seems? [/QUOTE]
