Looking for a place to hunt

[Guest janwbrown616]

I live in the Ooltewah TN area. Last year hunted with a XBOW in the Hixson area. Year before purchased an out of state license for GA did some hunting up on Taylors Ridge with a rifle. This year will pretty much stick with my Xbow in the Hixson area. I would like to hunt in TN with my rifle a few times, because with my Disabled VET license it's almost free.

I am retired Law Enforcement (Local cop in GA and 20+ years with US Customs Investigations) I enjoy hunting, being out in the woods and getting away. I'm 59 and am not interested in killing every deer that walks by. Last year I let several pass by and even tho I did not kill anything, still had a great time.

I'd like to find someplace to hunt on the occasion when I want to take the rife. Don't mind travelling and prefer a laid back hunting experience. Any ideas would be appreciated.
