Watts Bar WMAs

Has anyone hunted Thief Neck Island or Long Island on Watt's Bar? Looking at the map, it looks like there's only a small portion of Thief Neck Island that can be hunted. Is that right? If you've hunted out there, have you had much luck?

I've hunted there for years now but you better be ready for seed ticks and I mean ALOT of them

you can hunt anywhere on thief neck island. That spot you see on the map, from the link, is a corn field. It is a very good place to hunt. Once you get on the island... the further you walk the better. I went opening day bow and saw several fresh scrapes. Good Luck.

Thanks, bub! Do you know of any processors nearby there? I asked a friend of mine that lives out that way, but the one he usually uses retired.
