2011 Tennessee Hunting
I figure sense there's a fishing thread...may as well be a hunting thread! Share pics, tips, good areas and anything else.
It's spring turkey and out here in Cedars of Lebanon, so far I've seen a bunch of hens a couple jakes. All the gobblers are being call shy. I guess the early warm weather got them out and about sooner. I'm watching one with about a 10" beard and little over 1" spurs that keeps cycling through near one of my spots. I found his roosting tree, so I'm hoping he's mine next round!
Here's a pic of last year's biggest bird:
8" beard, 1 3/16" spurs, about 25lbs

Good lookin bird, some hens have a beard I've found.
There are quite a few at the farm, was a white one in the yard of the farm house, my uncle has been getting some, shoot some stuff in the front yard.

maples01 - I like groundhogs... They're best when fed small lead pellets delivered by Remington. I've got an old "66" with a 3-9 sitting on top and sighted to 75 yards. My only problem is that when Mr. Remington talks to them, they run into their hole and go to sleep.

NEW 2011-2012 Hunting Seasons!!
Thank the good Lord above, the TWRA just made sense of our jumbled up seasons!!
Now there's only one looooong big gun season, instead of stopping for a couple weeks and resuming. They also moved fall turkey from December to October, so it is actually fall turkey now. Wild hogs are no longer protected(= no bag limits or regulations)
Here's a link to the TWRA's website for all the nitty, gritty details!! Happy hunting!!

"Wild hogs have been removed as a big game animal and will be allowed to be taken on select WMAs during deer hunts. Wild hogs are now listed in a new non-protected wildlife proclamation."
Looks to me that certain hunts are unrestricted, kill as many as you can. I have no interest in them, they are mean *******s and must be shot with a kigh caliber, or you just make them mad.

Dad's seen them hunted at Catoosa, a 30/30 pisses them off, he's had no interest in messin with them, when they are wounded, they drop their head and take their tusks, tear through the woods like a dozer, will maul anything/anyone in their path. There's nothing like the sound of a wounded one runnin either, just not worth bothering, but they need to be controlled as they tear up stuff.
