2024 Draw Hunts

[Travis G.]

If you get drawn first draw it will use your points and second draw you will have zero points

So you pretty much can only draw a second quota hunt if it can be drawn with zero points

I only like the first 2 rifle hunts and try to hunt a different spot each year. I agree Thanksgiving is usually the least crowded. Im usually up a tree before 5am and Thanksgiving last year was the first time Ive had anyone come in on me. Not once but 2 mornings back to back. The 3rd morning he didn't show and I killed the buck coming from right where he had been setting up

Probably me….send me your stand location and I will confirm.

Yuchi only, there's usually leftover permits for Catoosa, don't want to waist a priority point on it.

What's everyone putting in for this year? What are your favorite hunts to put in for?
We are applying for Oak Ridge, Chuck Swann, Catoosa, and AE/DC. We always like Oak Ridge as priority for the success and memories we have been able to make there.

Catoosa and chuck swan hope to get a hog

I'm thinking about putting in for Cheatham but the 450 limit is terrifying to me. I can't imagine 450 hunters on 20,000 acres. That would be a zoo. Anyone ever hunt there have any advice? How realistic is that number of hunters?

If drive around a little you will find areas safe to hunt without other hunters. I hunt AEDC, 900 hunters, and average wise it is about the same as Cheatham and I find these safe areas and so do deer. One good thing about all the hunters is that it gets deer moving to new areas. Good hunting.

I haven't hunted aedc in 25 years but I had a place that was in the middle of an escape route. I never saw another hunter but was covered up in deer. It was a guarantee that we would kill a deer.

No, pretty sure it was me.
Now where is Laurel Hill again? Or was it Catoosa?

The more you brag it up the harder it will be to draw. Just sayin

You are 100% correct. Afraid all quota hunts will be that way soon.

Just buying a point in hopes something desirable comes on board in the future.
