I am looking for a good public land hunting area near the Gatlinberg area. I take several trips down with my family each year & want to start hunting while I am down that way. I am interested in hunting bear, turkey, deer, and some boar. Is there any good hunting land around that area that would be close for me to drive to? I appreciate your help, thank you.

Tellico Plains is the place to go, but I recommend hunting with a guide, this rough territory and you can very easily be flown back out in a helicopter if you know aren't careful. I know of a great outfitter in the area that has access to around 3,000 acres that has reasonable prices, if you want, drop me a line on the e-mail link.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate the reply! Good Luck on the boars!
