Best public land near nashville

[rusty1043]

What public land near nashville gives the best chance to get a buck? Looking to start hunting this year. I have a bow and have been shooting it for years but have never hunted.

Well, if anyone answers to this thread in open view on an open forum then it will no longer be the best.

I would pick a couple of WMAs that are convenient for you to get to and scout, pre-scout and scout more. Find access spots that others don't or can't get to.
But to answer your question, just by size I'd pick Cheatham. But it gets a lot of pressure. Don't discount the others though.

Every piece of public around Nashville has bucks. I'd encourage you to scout as much as possible the next 60 days. Good luck and keep us posted!

Go find them. Noone is going to tell you anything about public land on a public forum.

There are tons of opportunities within 2 hours of downtown Nashville.

Hunt them all. Generally about half of every deer born is a buck. Every hunting land will have bucks. You just gotta go find them.
