Are you ready? I am. Just need to arrange everything in my truck. Got a hunt planned for Sept 20-21. Should be Sept 19-21, but I got to work Sat and wont get to the campground until Sat evening. Thats ok, I have a good spot to hunt unless someone finds it and kills my deer that were there last year.

I am ready, but need some guidance on getting a map of the place, so I have some idea of where to hunt. I have never been there before, but I am pumped that we get to start the season early. Do we need tents and sleeping bags? I assume yes, but I am not real sure as I did not go last year.

I am going to try to get off work at 2:30 on Fri. and will head straight up to get us a camping spot. As far as a spot, I think we can help you when you get there. There is a pretty good spot not far from camp that almost nobody hunts and the game wardens talk about it every year. When are you coming up? If you can get there early on Fri, I will take you out and around. I have my spot too, Doc and this time I'm taking my stand and Lloyd's truck so it's on. I hope nobody else is where I'm going either, but there is a lot of room.

Thanks Brian. I am going on Friday after work. I get off at 4 so if it is near Chattanooga i will be there around 6. I will try to get off a little early if possible, so there will be a chance to scout a little that evening.

bone collector...all you need to know is that those are rutherford county deer. so too are the ones i posted earlier tonight in the trail-cam section. i wish i could show yall the pics coming off my buddies lease in christiana. he had 221 pics on his trail cam in 17hrs and had a group of 6 bucks come through; 2 120" class 8pts, 1 130" class 9pt, 2 145"-155" 10pts, and a non-typical that'd go in the 130's. those are the only bucks we've gotten pics of yet but the cam has also been up for just one week. and we know there are bigger. the landowner found a 145 3/8" 9pt dead by his pond in febuary that was smallest of 3 bucks he had seen running together just a couple weeks prior.

OH Son, a friend of mine has 84 acres surrounded by several hundred acres, two stands and wants someone to hunt with him. It is in Benton Co. TN and we are prepping the area now. Deer everywhere and the old 30 06 is sighted in, you have a virgin here and hope to get my first deer this year.
