let me give you a little info about me before i start. im not looking to trade a hunt im just looking for hunting information.

my best friend and I are looking to go to east tennessee to do a whitetail bowhunt, and a rifle black bear hunt (we live in southwest missouri). my grandparents live in polk county (on the hiawassee river to be exact), so we have a place to stay. i was searching for some hunting information as far as public land use areas. i guess i was wondering if you know of any good areas where we would have success and have a chance to take one of these animals. i found the information on permits and season dates. thanks in advance for all the help and good luck with this seasons hunts.
