[QUOTE="Ratherbhuntn, post: 2583581, member: 122195"] It's not Texas for sure, but we don't have it to bad here. Like someone already mentioned we have tons of lakes and rivers here if you are a water person. Tons of camping that is not in a RV/camper park. I do overnight canoe/kayak trips all the time. I'm in Knoxville which is about 2.5 to 3.5 hours from Nashville depending what part you are coming from, between there you have the Cumberland Plateau which is a great area for all that stuff. We have several WMA's and National forests and state land. Someone mentioned elk just a heads up there are some small herds they have reintroduced and we do have hunts but you'll have better luck trying to kill Bigfoot than getting drawn for one of them. There is plenty of deer hunting and deer opportunities and the heard seems to be getting better quality. That being said we are not the Boone and Crockett destination for hunters.
