Unread postby Tennhunter3 » Tue May 30, 2017 7:29 am

Friendly tip, you might want to edit out the GPS coordinates in the images before posting them. I found both areas in about 30 seconds on CalTopo and Google Maps. With TN holding the "world record" deer now, people will be looking for posts just like these.


With that said, the map that has the beds on it is pretty solid. The clear cut to the NE (not on this map, but visible on satellite) is probably a big doe bedding area, likely with younger bucks in it as well. I would also look for creek crossings in that valley. The beds on the north side of the creek are most likely for W-NW winds, and the one on that southerly point is for a S-SE wind. The prevailing winds for that area are mostly N-NW, so I'd start on that side. There is also a clearing to the immediate west of the crosshairs in your map that look like they have trails going through them. If there is a rub line nearby, try following it in both directions. You'll find the bed at some point.

They stand out easily on a map without coordinents also. Terrain is easy to match.


Natchez, Chickasaw ,White Oak wma, Big Sandy wma you wont find much over 140 class thats really top end.

Nashville area is where monsters are possible right now. Ive never thought of Tn as a big buck state tbh not like Iowa Wisconsin or Kansas.


If you want monsters in Tn try Stewart Williamson Sumner Haywood countys more booners running around their then anyone thinks. Trick is these countys are mostly private land or i would hunt them myself.

I would never post my best areas these are just backup areas im looking at hunting. But i like to think most people on hunting beast would be polite enough not to invade others areas.
