Rocky Top Ranch
Well, my trip to Rocky Top Ranch was unsuccessful. Being that I only got to hunt for one full day makes it tough. I did see my share of deer just didn’t get the big buck in bow range.
The morning hunt was slow. I was positioned on top of a ridge where the owner, Joe Robison, had taken several big buck pics with his trail cam. Only the invisible deer were moving in the area. Joe picked us up at 10:00am and took us back to the lodge for a home cooked lunch.
The evening sit looked to be more promising. My cameraman, Kale Biggs, and I found ourselves in the same tree with hopes of catching Mr. 12-pointer with his guard down. It wasn’t long before two does wondered in. I was just about to tag one when I heard something in the woods coming our way. It was a wide 4-point, not what I wanted. After watching the buck and does feed below me for about an hour Kale catches a glimpse of a good buck trailing a doe about 100 yards down the fence line. I let out several grunts but the buck seemed to have other things on his mind and chased the doe into the timber to never be seen again.
All in all, it was an exciting hunt. Saw a nice buck, good home cooked meals, and a couple that wanted to make sure my stay was pleasant. I made sure to mark a date for next season.
Thanks Joe and Judy Robison.

Recently, Rocky Top Ranch suffered a huge loss when a building on their property caught fire. The building contained treestands, feeders, blinds, 4-wheelers, etc. They are now trying to rebuild what they can and make ends meet. All products that are review pertaining to what they lost, I will donate to them. Wish you the best Rocky Top.
Paul,
The website looks as if it could be beneficial to hunters. They can make a more educated decision regarding the videos that they buy or what show to watch. It’s nice that they can always disagree with you too since people have different preferences and perspectives.
Keep up the good work.
Hey paul, finally someone is reviewing this stuff man. Way to call it like it is Paul. I will be checking back next week for sure. Hey, hit some of the less known shows and videos too. Worldhunt seems like its getting better, way better.

What all can you hunt there?
Doc
You can hunt deer, turkey, hogs, predators, and ducks.
Paul,
After reading your review of Rocky Top, I have to say that I agree with your commentary. My experience at Rocky Top was very enjoyable and successful. The Robinson’s are down to earth, friendly people who made my hunt and visit great. I went there to boar hunt, and it took me two days, but I was successful! It is a great place to schedule a hunt. I was glad to see that you agree.
