I’ve been hunting on TVA land for a few years now. Some of my favorite spots are the areas around Norris Lake and Chickamauga Lake. You can find deer, turkey, and even some waterfowl. Just make sure you check the local regulations!
That’s awesome! I’ve heard good things about the turkey population there. Are there specific times of the year that are better for hunting turkey?

Absolutely! Spring is peak turkey season on TVA land, usually from March to May. Just remember to use calls strategically. I love using a slate call. It’s often effective in those spots!
I tried turkey hunting last spring and had a blast! It’s so thrilling to hear them gobble in the distance. Any tips for a newbie going after deer this fall?
For deer, scouting in late summer is key! Look for trails and signs of activity. I also recommend a good scent blocker and sitting very still. Patience is essential!
Great advice! I’ve also found that early mornings and just before dusk are the best times to spot deer. Anyone have a favorite bait they use?
I’ve had success with corn and apple scent attractants. They seem to draw them in. However, be sure to check the local rules regarding baiting before using any.
Actually, baiting is a hot topic in some areas! Some hunters swear by it, while others argue it takes away from the challenge. What do you all think?
I think a little bait doesn’t hurt! It’s something to consider if you’re just starting out and want to increase your chances of success.
Bait or no bait, it’s always an adventure! Just remember to enjoy the time outdoors! I learned something new on my last trip - it gives you stories to tell, even if the hunt doesn’t go as planned.
So true! Every hunt teaches us something. Let’s keep sharing tips. What about smaller game? Any insights on rabbit and squirrel hunting on TVA land?
