Just got back from there in time for NY opener. We hunted Catoosa WMA, 80,000 acres 3 days. We went in blind not knowing what to expect, first time hunting in Tennessee, great people. They actually had signs up at entrances' saying "Closed to visitors, turkey hunters only". We picked the first driveway, pull off, we came to. We where early and as we where putting our stuff on several vehicles passed us, 9 to be exact, on a weekday ? This was the third week so the place was "hammered". Friend did have a opportunity there but "missed". Check station said then they checked in 36 birds. So we headed to some private land, 35 acres, near some kin in Wilson county. We did better there. Hens everywhere and birds still with hens. My friend took 1 adult and I took 2 adults, one being a beauty, 3 year old. Harvested a WNY adult bird this morning....Was it worth it ? money and time ?... absolutely ! anytime in the turkey woods no matter where you live and hunt..... is worth it.
