What I find interesting is how many of the decreased doe harvest counties produced two fairly destinct patterns, with one being western Middle TN (the hard-hit EHD counties from '07) and then the northcentral counties.

My doe observations were way up this year in Hickman county over last season . This was an area hit hard by EHD in 2007 .

Great compilation, BSK!
Thanks for posting this!

Could this be in large part due to a significant increase in the early November muzzleloader buck limit, going from 1 to 3 in Unit A, and from 2 to 3 in Unit L?
Could it be many hunters decided to kill a buck INSTEAD of a doe, since killing the 1st buck to come along (in Unit A) would not end their muzzleloader "buck" hunting?

Without question, the decrease in doe harvests in some areas may have been due to the increased buck limit. But I would hate to make absolute statements based on a single year's data.

I believe it is the result of the EHD outbreak. Simply less deer available for harvest.

So what's the situation with Polk County?
Didn't that county have a huntable deer population long before most TN counties even had deer (at least in "modern" times)?
