I saw this as well. IMO, west TN and SW TN have had for the last decade, and will continue to have for some time, the worst opportunities in the entire state for public land turkey hunting. IMO, if TWRA were to ever purchase more land in these areas, they should seriously consider purchasing land that is not flood prone, thus allowing for better chances of having a decent hatch year after year, and hopefully leading to more opportunity for turkey hunters on public land (SW TN). I talk to guys all the time who cry the blues about paying $150/year and repeatedly having nowhere to turkey hunt in SW TN. The middle TN and eastern TN hunters do not know how good they have it when it comes to having access to public land to turkey hunt on with sustainable turkey numbers year after year after year.

Congrats on your success, bet you killed a few skeeters along the way as well.timberghost3591":12yo6k07 said:Drew Tully and Chickasaw.

You have no idea. I walked in with my thermacell on holding it my hand, and walked with it on in my hand. Once I sat down it wasn't bad. It kept them at bay. But once I shot and got away from it you would have thought I was in a glass case with a million of them. It was terrible.Andy S.":1xz4zlck said:Congrats on your success, bet you killed a few skeeters along the way as well.timberghost3591":1xz4zlck said:Drew Tully and Chickasaw.
