Who all here thanks that Tennessee has the right stuff to grow bucks like Kentucky does, if only we would manage our herd better?
First of all I think Kentucky probably has better soil quality than Tennessee. I also think Kentucky and Tennessee have habitat condusive to whitetail deer. I also think TWRA is doing an outstanding job of managing Tennessee's deer herd. If I want to hunt Tennessee deer I will hunt in Tennessee. If I want to hunt Kentucky deer then I will go to Kentucky. To answer your question, Kentucky's "stuff" might be a little better but there is nothing wrong with the way TWRA is managing Tennessee's deer herd. JMO

I'll be honest ,.. i don't think as a hunter i would like a 1 buck limit. I might like the result it would cause with increased age structure ,.. but since i hunt more than 1 place ,. i like having more than 1 shot at more than 1 buck on each place i hunt.
AND,.. really don't care nothing about TN becoming known as a big buck state. Ever talked to KY hunters about TN hunters hunting thier public lands?? There is a reason why tn hunters goes to KY , but KY hunters don't come to TN. I think public hunting grounds would be seriously overcrowded if TN was like KY!!

I have no idea what it scored. We ate it and threw the antlers out. But you can get the hunting gear here at the house. I'm still using it. Best camo pattern ever.

These guys here want to go back to if its brown its down, shoot every buck you see. How do you get them to give up their deer numbers for quality.
Why should they?

I actually think that they are already here, just maybe not as abundant and accessible(ag fields).

dropping to a one buck limit,i dont think would have a big of resault as expected.i think if we cut our gun season to lets say just the first segment.that would have better resaults.if a buck makes it through our gun season he won the lottery.kentucky's gun season is only 15 days long.

Anything is possible, and it would only known if it were tried. It will never be known I'm sure because many people are satified with things the way they are now and can't fatham a change. What's the harm in experimenting?? I have to settle with the way things are because that's the way they are....

We should not have to give up any more buck kills . I was just telling him that it would never work here.

We can't grow the quantity of racks to compete on a B&C level, but we can match them in age.
