Hey DD I live about an hour and 10 minutes from paducah in west TN and we have some really awesome deer here as well i live fairly close to paris, tn or Kentucky lake We have alot of public land to hunt on that has some really good deer. Me I have the luxury of hunting on private land of one of my good friends farms and has 1200 acres to hunt. And does not let me bring anyone. But I could probally help you get hooked upmon a lease or something and most leases here are managed. If you are interested send me a pm
