Hunting Forum

It was suggested once again I move this post, this time to this TN section:

Thanks for your tour of service and welcome back to the States! Where Otter Creek Rd crosses west to east, it breaks up several smaller finger roads headed north and northeast toward the river. A couple of miles into it from the west side the road does a big loop to its north, meaning a smaller road breaks off and loops around coming back down to the Otter Rd. I'd suggest you take that or one of the other dead-end finger roads to the north. There are several large clear-cuts or burns up there giving plenty of good edge. Park real early in the morning and head north toward the river into the woods a few hundred yds from any of the cleared fields and set up along some ridge or hollow trail. When the others get into the hunt as the sun rises they will hammer the fields pretty hard and the experienced bucks will be heading into the woods. You will be up there between field and water in the woods on the trails. But, Catoosa is good all over and has a lot of hogs as well so you will be well situated no matter where you sit to catch a sight of something.

Thanks much. That is actually an area I had picked out from my map recon. I'll let you know how it goes.

Catoosa has elk and I think a small population of Fallow are there as well so make sure what you are shooting at and what is legal on your particular hunt. They also have hogs but I don't think they are legal except on some quota hunts and their main January season. Have a great hunt!
