There is only 14 members total and they claim to have some really nice bucks on it. Its 8 pt or better. Does anyone have an idea of what kinda deer this area produces or a hunt club makeup like this will probably produce. I spent a lot of money on this lease in hopes it turns out good. Thanks for any insight you guys have.

Two of the biggest bucks I've ever seen were right past the courthouse that night We will burn that bridge when we get there

I've lived in Pickens all my life and have seen some really nice bucks harvested. Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Thanks for any insight you guys have. Where in Tennessee did you hunt previously? That will dictate your expectations just as much as anything. For the most part Pickens county has some great areas but IMO it has went downhill in previous years. Still some great deer but more quantity than quality from what I've seen there compared to years ago. Last edited by roscopeecotrane; 08/30/14 10:43 AM. Luck is where preparation meet opportunity

I have never hunted south of Tennessee and was wondering if seeing a 130" buck on a 2500 acre lease in Pickens was to high of an expectation.

I have never killed a 130 but I've seen many that big and bigger come through the processing plant in Aliceville. Of course the rut is your best chance for a mature buck. The last week of Dec and first week of Jan should be the peak of the rut.

I think if you expect to kill a 130", you're going to be disappointed. Sure, it's possible, but I'd say less than 50/50.

I would give it a try but if I had a chance to get in a club in the above mentioned area of the county I'd do that.

I occasionally get a pretty good deer on camera (maybe 120-130) but its very tough to see one during the season. I think for this area for a buck to get that big its pretty much a 5 yr old which is real tough to hunt. The bucks we've killed are around 110-118 and are prolly 3 or 4 yr olds. Body weights around 160-185.

The quality depended on the club and pressure. We killed/ saw some nice bucks (some around 130"), while the club next door killed smaller bucks. I actually missed the biggest buck I've ever seen from a ladder stand on that property.
