I got a bad case of cabin fever and cant wait for the season to start here in IL. Thinking about heading south to see what TN has to offer. I am having a tough time trying to figure out where to start looking for public ground. Not looking for exact spots or anything like that just wanting a push in the right direction for some public ground, probably just camping out of the truck.
I was looking in the middle and western part of the state. Possibly in the land between the lakes area or the natchez trace area.

I thought Cheatham was seriously down on headcount. Few years back they had a disease the manager referred to as "blackhead". I have never heard of it but he told me it wiped out half of the birds and it had not really recovered. That was in 2011. Randy was his name I believe.
I'm from the west tn area born and raised natchez trace is a good place but you need to get to you're spot early cause last couple of years it's been getting pretty crowded. If you don't mind going a bit farther you could try the white oak wma in savannah I think it's a little less pressured and have heard alot of good things lately.
There are no birds at White Oak.
LBL has tons of birds and......................................snakes! Wear snake chaps and keep a eye out. Copperheads and rattle snakes. reflexl
we are going next weekend. Does anybody know anything about John Tully WMA?
