I have not heard any while hunting out there this season but have seen some tracks.

A Vermont deer hunter accidentally shot and killed his hunting buddy, and was so devastated he turned his rifle on himself, state police say. Vermont hunter accidentally kills friend, commits suicide: cops - New York Daily News

Have been hunting the Yanahli WMA in Maury County and have yet to see a deer. I did go out of state last weekend to West Virginia and took a doe on my brother-in-laws private property so the freezer isn't completely empty but it could definitely stand to have another deer or two before the season is over.

The key to successful hunting on public land is scouting and the best time to do that is after hunting season to find the most ideal locations to hunt due to the competition of other hunters and deer being under more density pressure and hiding out more than they would during the off season. Walk the trails to map out the deer travel patterns and find the woodland food source and basically find the more difficult locations on public land that other hunters would not go to. Hope this helps and good luck!

I hunted out there today but never saw anything. I did hear quite a few turkeys. Yanahli is spread out on about 4 of 5 separate pieces of property. [h=2][/h]

I have hunted there. It's not bad but I didn't see anything the first time I went on opening day of rifle season. Another hunter I was with did see an 8 pointer and missed his shot. We will be going back soon.

Remington 700 SPS in .308 Win. I've been really happy with it. Purchased last year.

Got mine in 2009 and it took just about the full 3 months to receive. Glad to hear that the state has caught up with demand.
