Hopefully the turkeys will be fired up on a cold morning tomorrow. Breaking out the cold gear for tomorrow.
They were densely packed last weekend when I army crawled several hundred yards onto a flock. I took a longer than normal shot that I would have normally not taken last weekend and missed. Better luck this weekend.

Do you use a gen 1-3 style ss guide rod/spring or the double gen4 style?Gen4 SS Guide Rod with the high polish finish (LoneWolf). Also have a Streamlight TLR-1 HL attached to it.

Have done some work to my G20 Gen4. I carry in the woods also. I put on a LoneWolf SS Guide Rod / Spring in it and MeproLight Night Sights but thinking about putting a Burris Fastfire III on it. If you get a different shooting barrel take a look at KKM Precision Barrels. Going to pick one of those up soon also to shoot hard cast, reloads, etc. I've had good luck with Underwood and Atlanta Arms ammo and have heard good things about Buffalo Bore also. Hunt/Carry Underwood JHP 180gr XTP.

Already dropped 25lbs since September so not as concerned on the whole weight loss new years goals. My plan is to see and hang out with friends more often. With life, kids, work, etc. I feel like I've let friendships slack and want to do a better job of maintaining those friendships. Also going to take a newbie hunter out into the woods in 2016 and show him the ropes.

Hello, this is my first time hunting and I'm trying to make sure I read the regulations correctly and appreciate any help.
I'm planning to hunt on Catoosa WMA tomorrow morning. I thought the bag limit regulations were pretty straight forward, but upon double checking to confirm them, I'm confused.
Based on pages 25-26 (of the guide, not the PDF) of the 2015-2016 guide, it looks like Catoosa spans Units A and B (counties Cumberland, Morgan, and Fentress). http://issuu.com/thebinghamgroup/docs/hunt_trap_guide_2015-2016?e=18073349/14694585
So for Bucks, we still have the max of 1 buck per day, and two total per year.
Does are more confusing (says to consult table on page 26). Cumberland and Fentress are not in the table at all, and Morgan doesn't allow any Does until near the end of the season.
So am I interpreting this correctly that if I hunt at Catoosa, I can only harvest a buck?
Thank you!
P.S. I'm a little south of Nashville so if anyone has tips on WMAs that are closer and won't be over-crowded with hunters, I'd appreciate that too! ThanksCatoosa WMA sure is a long way away from south of Nashville. Have you checked into Yanahli WMA in Maury County or Cheatham Wildlife Management Area?

I don't think there was anything wrong with this deer's genes, he more than likely just wasn't old enough to have a big rack yet.
Agreed. Lots of misconceptions around trying to control a deer populations genes. Regardless I'm not going to criticize someones reason to harvest a deer but want to make sure they are informed. Everyone decides to to harvest a deer for different reasons (food on the table, trophy hunter, etc.).

Well, today was a bust (not completely). The rut is in full swing in Maury County and none of the deer even stopped for a single second. All on the move and running. I saw at least 7 or 8 does and 2 bucks and not one never paused a single second to get a shot off. Then around 10AM a bush hog came in and started work. I am on my uncles private proverty. That pretty much sealed it. To make matters worse on my way out I had a call from work as I am on call this weekend. The plus side to the story is that I took this coming week off work and will be hunting quite a bit and have until January 8th in Maury County (Unit L). I let too many walk during bow season. Good luck to all the hunters this rifle season!

Agreed. He's a shooter. Not real certain on his age. Maybe 4 or close to it. He looks to be about the oldest of the herd on my trail camera. Lots in the 2-3 year range.

Lipscomb University area. We'll be staying in Brentwood.
Your best bet between inbetween Lipscomb University (from which I am an alum) and Brentwood is the Nashville Armory at Harding & I-65. Otherwise the others are a little bit south of Brentwood as mentioned below. Everything Weapons and Franklin Gun Shop. Guns & Leather would be very much out of your way (north of Nashville) but a good gun shop none the less.

First bird of the season (Jake). Harvested late afternoon today. Arrived on my hunting property and there was a flock of 12 cruising around. No time for decoys and they weren't responding to the calls so I stalked them as close as I could and then hit the ground and army crawled another 100+ yards and was able to take a shot only about 20-30yds away. The grass was just tall enough that I was able to crawl without being noticed. Was an exciting hunt. Started the minute I arrived. 16.8lbs and 3.5in beard. Was a good size and I've pretty much determined that there are no Tom's on the property after several weeks of hunting. Have yet to see any but a pack of 9 jakes were cruising the property when I got there.

Is it time to put away the decoys or are they still effective at this point in the season? Seems like they really attracted a lot of attention the first few weeks of the season but have since leveled off and somewhat ignored. Maybe it's just the same flock I keep seeing and they have figured it out. I hunt the outer boundries of a large field.
-
Nothing but hens and jakes so far for the 2nd weekend in a row. Going back out tomorrow afternoon. The tom's gotta be trailing behind somewhere.
-
Congrats! Nice looking bird. What kind of shells and choke do you use?
-
Apparently the storms on Friday really separated and broke them up so they spent most of the day trying to find each other and regroup. I never saw a flock bigger than 3 all day. Did see 10 hens, 4 jakes and 9 deer. Took one shot at a larger / mature Jake but missed. Probably go back out tomorrow. Good start to the season considering how many turkey I saw. Hope everyone else did well.

Nothing over here either.

Was a great show again this year. A little too much jewelry and duck calls though. Picked up on some Hevi-Shot Magnum Blend Shells (3.5" - 2 1/4th) for $30 each. Hevi-Shot is running a $10 rebate on for up to two boxes right now so that was a bonus. Retail on those shells are normally around $36 plus tax. Also picked up a custom made walnut waterproof box call from a company called Tru-Tone Custom Calls to go with the waterproof slate call that I bought from them at last years show. Lots of good / discounted prices at the show.
-
I purchased a 2011 Honda Rancher 4x4 ES there and never had any issues. The sales team and manager were pretty straight forward. Have also purchased parts there and have continued to go back. I would definitely get the deal worked out over the phone and a final price set before making the trip as mentioned above though.

Thanks, I've lived here several years but have never had the time or opportunity to do any hunting here. Back in WV lived on the family farm and didn't have to have a license.
BTW the form I submitted was for just one doe. Biggest thing I was worried about is, I don't have the 094 with my license.
What part of WV? I hunt on a family farm in Milton, WV every year. Great hunting. The sad part is that an out of state WV hunting license is about to become cheaper than a Tennessee Sportsman License come July 1st.

Glock 20 Gen4. I pretty much only shoot Underwood & Atlanta Arms Ammo. Both feed great!
