I’ve never deer hunted it. I’ve been all over it coon hunting and predator trapping. Twra posts pictures of the deer taken off the hunts every year. They kill some bruisers out there. There is a lot of fresh clear cuts from this year and last as well as a bunch that was cut within the last 5 years. It can get thick and steep. Also keep your eye out for bears. Multiple guys i know personally had problems with bear last year on the archery hunt. One had a bear run him back to his truck walking from the stand. Another had a bear come in to his stand while he was in it and stayed around the bottom of his tree and wouldn’t let him leave. A lot of wild hogs as well.

I’m a TN boy but not close to Catoosa so never hunted it. Are you a member of the TNDeer.com website? I’ve gotten lots of helpful hints for local stuff there.
Can't see how bears would be a problem. A Tennessee license includes a bear tag (at least the resident license does)!!!
I've never hunted that part of the state, but I am eagerly awaiting quota hunt results for this fall...
Catman is around here occasionally and on TNDeer.com too. He may have been over there.

Ahhh. Good call. I don’t get over to the east side of the state to hunt. I’ve always been told that to bear hunt effectively over there you either have to scout quite a bit or run dogs. Spot and stalk won’t work because it’s so thick. Again, that’s what I was told…
All that in mind, I don’t pay much attention to the details of bear regs
Though they should allow the taking of bears during the open archery hunt, can't get out of the truck without seeing a busted up stump/log or rocks flipped over. Some great bucks on the area but you need to pattern the other hunters first. Haven't heard if they've fixed the bridge on Daddys Creek yet, but I doubt it, that's a major inconvenience for sure.
Here's a nice one from there that I never connected with.
I’m pretty sure the bridge is still out. Makes it tough to get around unless you go back out and all around gods creation to get to the other side.
