I will be bowhunting in Kentucky November 7-12. Looking for any advice I can receive on this management area. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. Yes I heard about the crowd, until gun season opens then it thins out big time. I also heard they have a ton of ticks?

Don't get caught up thinking that there will be tons of people up there. We were up there last week of Oct and first week of nov and we never ran into one person. We saw some trucks but never saw one hunter in the woods. All we had ever been told was that there would be tons of people and we would be walked in on all day, so it doesn't necessarily mean you will be wrapped up with people. Enjoy it, it's a really nice piece of property.

No acorns and deer not rutting yet. I got some scouting in this afternoon. Try to hunt and scout tomorrow. They are moving like crazy before dark. I believe some of these deer are pets. Lol. I did see a 140” fifty yards off the road eating green grass right out of the WMA. This place is different hunting, due to they will bed anywhere.

The peak conception dates for most of KY is the very middle of November, so just a week out. Bucks should really be on their feet right now picking up those first few does. It's as predictable as the sunrise every morning.

My opinion on this management area so far. It’s over run with deer and is a big ass man drive all day. If you kill a big buck it’s not because you figured him out and killed him. This is not my kind of hunting, but I’m going to make the best of it and put together a plan today. Or better yet 3 plans.Lol. I’m seeing does with little ones, and no bucks pushing them. The browse line is noticeable in places and it’s November. I have met pissed off people. I have seen more people than squirrels. I have seen loc ons from years past. I have seen deer bedded in ditches. Dead deer all along the sides of the roads from Nashville to here. With all this said, if I kill a buck it will be pure luck and won’t mean much to me. If they allowed guns, someone would get shot by accident. This place is 10 times better than Cades Cove! I may have a different perspective on this place by tomorrow, but as for now it sucks. Oh one last thing 40 vehicles x 3 people per vehicle= 120 humans on 5500 acres that love to walk around.

You do know him right? You could try spoon feeding him a B&C and it would miss his mouth.

Also don't be discouraged if you have people walk in on you during your hunts cause it's gonna happen! All the pressure seems to keep the deer moving all day. Told you. I'll be honest I haven't been back in a couple years because of this. I had a guy walk in on me in jeans, red flannel shirt, a cooler, and a crossbow. He would sit down on his cooler drink one beer and move 100 yards, drink another beer and move 100 yards, and on and on. Sent you a PM JD
