Fort Campbell was where I shot my first deer, way back in 1968. Shot it with a 20 gauge slug, and it ran a couple of hundred yards and dropped in front of another hunter. I was following the blood trail, and by the time I got there, he had laid claim to it. Left a bad taste in my mouth for that place. There is some good hunting on the base, but too big of a hassle for me. I have seen some very good deer come out of those rear areas. Buddy of mine used to hunt there, and knew it like the back of his hand. He sure shot some good ones.

Figured something was up, as a neighbor who is stationed there has been keeping some odd hours lately, and that usually means he's getting ready to deploy.
