Well, I live 5 mins from it, but won't make it this year. The wife has scheduled us a Gatlinburg / Cades Cove trip Fri-Sun. Past couple of years the weather was cruddy, maybe it'll be good this time.

Yeah, as far as camping, I'd advise to get a motel room in Oxford (it's about 15/20 mins away). And regarding the 3 or 4 point on one side rule, just know this place is 56K acres of mostly big rolling hardwood ridges....the deer density is below average, so don't think you're coming to Barbour Co WMA! rofl

I know this sounds like typical advice, but I have killed many "average" bucks up there, and the two tricks are:
1. Get WAAAAAAAAAAYY off the main road. Find a roadbed and get to steppin.
2. Ideally, find cutover somewhere. This just helps me narrow down where a deer might be since it would be a bedding oasis in the middle of miles of hardwoods.

243Win You can google Coleman lake it has bath house. Pine Glenn has restroom but no bath house. There are several different hunters camps on 500. Just all depends where you want to hunt or where you will be coming in.

Saturday there were four 8pts and a 7pt killed. When we left yesterday there had been one 10pt checked in. All I saw were turkeys.

Don't know. That's what the wardens told us had been checked in. I'm pretty sure that was total for the entire property.

You are probably right about entire area.
Interesting conversation I had with a GW Sat. I said I wonder why they chose Nov 4/5 for a special hunt when it's usually still not cold around here. I said wouldn't it be better later in Nov or even Dec?

He replied, if it was in Dec it wouldn't be much of a special hunt cos there are other gun hunts in Dec!

I about fell in the road..So your saying there's no other gun hunts here in Nov beside this one so this is somehow a "special one"!?!? wow

I don'tget what you are saying, there are 6 gun hunts on Chocc in Nov and Dec. This is a "special" hunt because its before regular rifle comes in.

Never mind, I forget it's special because it's before the first legal gun hunt (BP) of the season.

A little footinmouth over here smile Sorry about the confusion I created.

Ended up seeing one doe. Found several scrapes and tons of rubs but I was never in the right spot. My buddy missed a buck. Said it was a big 9

At least some are lucky enough to see some activity this early. I'll be back out in a few days as it's suppose to cool down some.
