I am going to Catoosa this winter to attempt to shoot my first hog. I am going this weekend to scout the Bicolor (east) side of the WMA, which brings me to my next question. Is anyone familiar with which side Genesis (west) or Bicolor (east) has the higher population of hogs? Or are you basically at equal odds no matter where you go? Thanks for the help.

Wingshooter, If you have any public land suggestions for East Tennessee feel free to pass those along :). I haven't turkey hunted before, but I have camo and a gun... So I'm almost there!

I appreciate the warm welcome, just like the winters will feel compared to the midwest! Thanks Bert for the feedback. I'll give it a look.

Hello group, I am new to hunting in Tennessee, although I have done my share of deer and pheasant hunting back in Nebraska where I originate. I am looking to try out turkey and dove hunting this year. May try doing some deer hunting as well with my rifle. The toughest part of hunting in a new state is finding out where to hunt! I appreciate any and all advice to a newcomer. I live in the Knoxville area if that helps anyone, although I am willing to drive to get myself and my dog a few nice chances at doves!
