Event Name: DoubleCreek TN Archery Deer
This was my first opportunity to hunt whitetail deer in TN. My first day of the hunt started off in a beautiful scenery of trees with different color leaves and a relaxing atmosphere. During the hunt I saw two does and no bucks in the afternoon. During the morning hunt I didn’t see any deer. The second day of the hunt the weather was as beautiful as the previous day. In the mid 60’s to low 70’s with clear skies. In the morning I didn’t see any deer again and in the afternoon, I saw one doe which was well beyond shooting range for my crossbow. Although I didn’t harvest a deer I had a wonderful time with fellow wounded warriors, Justin, Scott, and Josh. Josh Krueger was very professional and was a big help whenever needed. He made sure we were safe and that everything went as smooth as possible. I would like to thank WWIA, Corrina, DoubleCreek, Dennis, Shelley and all the guides for making this hunt possible.
